at Paracou, of which 14 were taken in ground­level mistnets, 8 in elevated mistnets, and 1 at a roost. Of our 14 ground­level mistnet captures, 6 were in manmade clearings and 8 were over roadside puddles. Seven of our elevated mistnet captures were made between 5 and 20 m over a narrow dirt road, and one was made at 34 37 m over a treefall in well­drained primary forest. Our single roosting example was found behind a window shutter.
