DA ROCHA, Patrício A; FEIJO, Anderson; PEDROSO, Mônica A  e  FERRARI, Stephen F. First record of the big free-tailed bat, Nyctinomops macrotis (chiroptera, molossidae), for the semi-arid caatinga scrublands of northeastern Brazil. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.1, pp.195-200. ISSN 0327-9383.

Nyctinomops macrotis Gray, 1840 is amply distributed in the New World, ranging between the southwestern United States and northern Argentina. In Brazil, however, most records are concentrated in the southern Atlantic Forest, with few data from other regions, and none at all from the semi-arid Caatinga scrub­lands of the Northeast. This study presents the first record of N. macrotis for this biome, and a major extension of the known range for this species in Brazil.
