Eptesicus furinalis (d’Orbigny & Gervais 1847) Distribution. From north Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil, and Guianas to Peru, and Mexico. In Brazil it occurs in the states of Amazonas, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Paraná, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Tocantins and in the Distrito Federal (Reis et al. 2007; Gardner 2008). Habitat. Inhabits a large variety of environments such as tropical dry and moist forests, tropical wet forest, subtropical moist and wet forests, and savannas, roosting along rivers, streams, and riparian vegetation of lagoons (Mies et al. 1996). In the Cerrado biome it occurs in both open and forested areas (Marinho-Filho et al. 2002). We captured two specimens in a pasture field, near some small buildings near a patch of wooded savanna (13° 46’ 17.03” S, 46° 37’ 30.44” W), in São Domingos, GO. Voucher specimens.

Lonchophylla dekeyseri Taddei, Vizotto, and Sazima 1983 Distribution. Known from Central and Northeast Brazil, from type locality and states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and Piauí, and, more recently from eastern Bolivia (Reis et al. 2007; Aguiar 2008). Habitat. Inhabitant of the savannas from Central Brazil and Northeastern and Bolivia, this species appears associated with limestone outcrops.

In Brazil it occurs in the states of Amazonas, Ceará, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Piauí, Rondônia, and Roraima and in the Distrito Federal (Reis et al. 2007). Habitat. Inhabits humid and arid habitats from coastal lowlands to 3,000 m elevation. Pteronotus parnellii roost in caves, mines, and hollow’s tree (Herd 1983; Gonçalves & Gregorin 2004).

Uroderma magnirostrum Davis 1968 Distribution. From Mexico southward French Guiana, Surinam, and Colombia to Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay, northern Argentina, and Brazil. This species have been in almost all Brazil, including the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraná, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Roraima, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Nogueira et al. 2003; Peracchi et al. 2006; Gardner 2008). Most of these records are from Amazon and some sporadic records from the Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Rainforest biomes (Nogueira et al. 2003). The record for the Cerrado is from the state of Mato Grosso (figure 1 in Nogueira et al. 2003), adjacent to the states of Tocantins and Goiás. Fracasso and Salles (2005) found fossil remains in limestone caves in Serra da Mesa, northern state of Goiás. Habitat. Uroderma magnirostrum is locally rare and little is known about its biology. Few reports found this species associated with humid lowland areas, occurring in yards, pastures, archers, and croplands (Nogueira et al. 2003). This species tents with banana and palm leafs (Peracchi et al. 2006). The only individual caught by us was captured in a pasture field near to limestone outcrops (14° 30’ 25.4” S, 46° 43’ 51.5” W) in Alvorada do Norte, GO. Voucher specimen.

Chrotopterus auritus (Peters 1856) Distribution. From Mexico, southward to Guianas, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina. In Brazil it shows a disjunct distribution and has been recorded almost all Brazil, but the states of Alagoas, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Roraima, Rondônia, Sergipe, and Tocantins (Rodrigues et al. 2002; Reis et al. 2007). Habitat. Inhabits tropical rainforest, deciduous forests, and cloud forests, roosting at places such as caves, mines, abandoned buildings, and hollow trees (Medellín 1989; Reis et al. 2007). We captured one specimen in a pasture field near to limestone outcrops (14 o 30’ 25.4” S, 46 o 43’ 51.5” W) in Alvorada do Norte, GO. Voucher specimen.

Artibeus obscurus (Schinz 1821) Distribution. Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. Records for the Brazil are from the states of Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Pará, Paraíba, Paraná, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio de Janeiro, Rondônia, Roraima, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo (Peracchi et al. 2006). Habitat. Inhabits almost exclusively moist environments as such rainforests, cloud forests, and semideciduous forests (Haynes & Lee 2004). This species was collected in all sampled localities (14 o 30’ 21.09” S, 46 o 45’ 29.37” W in Alvorada do Norte, GO; 13°46’ 15.1” S, 46° 37’ 29.2” W in São Domingos, GO; and 12° 54’ 50.8” S, 47° 34’ 0.7” W in Paranã, TO), always near to water sources. Comments. Similarities between A. obscurus and A. jamaicensis have raised taxonomic confusion due to the variation in morphology of the latter (Haynes & Lee 2004). Both species are very similar and have almost the same size, but A. jamaicensis is slightly larger and exhibits a more prominent rostrum. Voucher specimens. 12 females – CHUNB 1178, 1179, 1180, 1181, 1182, 1183, 1185, 1186, 1187, 1195, 1196, and 1214; four males – CHUNB 1184, 1189, 1235, and 1236., Published as part of Bezerra, Alexandra M.
