First and easternmost record of Molossops temminckii (Burmeister, 1854) (Chiroptera: Molossidae) for the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil

Abstract

This study provides the easternmost record of Molossops temminckii (Burmeister 1854), and the first for the state of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. These records were based on the capture of six specimens, three males and three females. The morphometric data and morphological characters were consistent with those described in the literature. This record extends the distributional range of the species approximately 470 km eastwards.
