Mammalia, Chiroptera, Emballonuridae, <i>Peropteryx leucoptera</i> Peters, 1867 and <i>Peropteryx pallidoptera</i> Lim, Engstrom, Reid, Simmons, Voss and Fleck, 2010: Distributional range extensions in Ecuador

Abstract

We reevaluate vouchered records of Peropteryx leucoptera in Ecuador with regard to the morphologicallysimilar and newly described species, P. pallidoptera. The western-most distributional occurrence of P. pallidoptera isdocumented. Additionally, we describe a new record of P. leucoptera collected at Palma Roja, Cuyabeno Faunistic Reserve inSucumbíos Province, Ecuador that represents the first record for this species in Sucumbíos Province and the northern-mostdistributional occurrence for Ecuador.
