The 2 latter synonyms represent not binomial (and more formal) entries, but refer to specimens whose association to this new species is clear and explicit. Several studies have been published in recent years evidencing the existence of 2 sympatric lineages of common mustached bats in the Amazonian region. Each of these studies has focused on specific questions about the group, but also provided additional sources of information to guide the present study. Based on information from 3 loci,
