Abstract

BARQUEZ, Rubén M.; SANCHEZ, Mariano S.  and  SANDOVAL, M. Leonor. New bat (Chiroptera) records in northern Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.1, pp.11-24. ISSN 0327-9383.

Thirty seven new localities are added to the distribution of 15 species of bats from northern Argentina (families Noctilionidae, Phyllostomidae, Vespertilionidae, and Molossidae). The new records, belonging to 98 specimens analyzed, were obtained during field works in the provinces of Catamarca, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Jujuy, Misiones, Salta, and Tucumán. Some localities represent important extensions to the known distributional area of some species. We add seven species to four provinces (four to Catamarca, and one to the provinces of Corrientes, Entre Rios, and Salta). We also report information about the coexistence of Myotis levis and M. dinellii in the province of Entre Ríos, and add three species (Noctilio leporinus, Eptesicus diminutus and Cynomops planirostris) to the Yungas forests in the poorly sampled latitudinal band of 25º S latitude.

Keywords : Distribution; Molossidae; Noctilionidae; Phyllostomidae; Vespertilionidae.
