Noctilio leporinus (Linnaeus, 1758) VOUCHER MATERIAL (TOTAL = 15): Quebrada Esperanza (FMNH 89002–89012, 89161–89164); see table 14 for measurements. UNVOUCHERED OBSERVATIONS: None. IDENTIFICATION: Noctilio leporinus is easily distinguished from N. albiventris by its larger size (wingspan about 500 mm; length of foot> 25 mm; forearm> 73 mm; length of maxillary toothrow> 10 mm), including especially long hindlimbs, large feet, and well-developed claws that it uses for gaffing fish (Hood and Jones, 1984; Gardner, 2008a; López-Baucells et al., 2018). Descriptions and measurements of N. leporinus were provided by Husson (1962, 1978), Ceballos-Bendezú (1968), Davis (1973), Hood and Jones (1984), and Simmons and Voss (1998). Although three subspecies have traditionally been recognized (e.g., by Davis, 1973; Simmons, 2005; Gardner, 2008a), recent molecular studies support the recognition of only two: N. l. leporinus (in South America east of the Andes extending north into eastern Panama) and N. l. mastivus (distributed from Mexico south into the lowlands west of the Andes, with an additional population in Jamaica) (Pavan et al., 2013; Khan et al., 2014). Ceballos-Bendezú (1968) correctly identified the specimens from Quebrada Esperanza as Noctilio leporinus. Our comparisons indicate that these specimens are morphologically indistinguishable from specimens from Bolivia (e.g., AMNH 210666), Brazil (e.g., AMNH 91943), and French Guiana (e.g., AMNH 265974). This result is congruent with the genetic findings of Pavan et al. (2013) and Khan et al. (2014) and suggests that the Quebrada Esperanza specimens should be referred to N. l. leporinus. REMARKS: No ecological information accompanies the unique series from Quebrada Esperanza, which was obtained by C. Kalinowski in 1957, but from the fact that these specimens were collected on three different dates (1 on 23 September, 10 on 25 September, and 4 on 26 September), we infer the probable occurrence of multiple capture events. Because mistnets were seldom employed in the 1950s, these bats were probably shot at night by jacklight or taken from diurnal roosts., Published as part of Velazco, Paúl M., Voss, Robert S., Fleck, David W. & Simmons, Nancy B., 2021, Mammalian Diversity And Matses Ethnomammalogy In Amazonian Peru Part 4: Bats, pp. 1-201 in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2021 (451) on page 30, DOI: 10.1206/0003-0090.451.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5415316

This report is the first installment of a monographic study of mammalian diversity and ethnomammalogy in a sparsely inhabited rainforest region between the Yavari and Ucayali rivers in northeastern Peru. Our study is based on several large collections of mammals (totaling about 3500 specimens) made at various localities in this region between 1926 and 2003, and on our long-term ethnobiological and linguistic fieldwork with the Matses, a Panoan-speaking group of indigenous Amazonians who still obtain most of their dietary protein by hunting mammals. Our primary objectives are to document the species richness of the regional fauna through taxonomic analysis of collected specimens, and to assess the detail and accuracy of Matses knowledge of mammalian natural history by linguistic analysis of recorded interviews. The regional primate fauna is definitely known to consist of at least 14 species documented by collected specimens and/or repeated sightings of taxa with visually conspicuous diagnostic tra...

1. Greater Bulldog Bat Noctilio leporinus French: Grand Noctilion / German: Grofes Hasenmaul / Spanish: Noctilio grande Other common names: Fisherman Bat Taxonomy. Vespertilio leporinus Linnaeus, 1758, “America.” Restricted by O. Thomas in 1911 to “ Surinam [= Suriname].” Taxonomy of N. leporinus has been stable for a long time, and in 1973, it was clarified that its taxonomy is quite simple. Morerecent work based on DNA sequencing of mitochondrial (control region) and nuclear (RAG2) genetic material yielded a relatively homogeneous phylogenetic landscape with low genetic diversity that seemedto indicate that the northern subspecies was valid. In South America, N. leporinus might be represented by only one other subspecies, but additional research is needed. Three subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. N.l.leporinusLinnaeus,1758—theGuianas,AmazonBasin,andmostofBrazil. N.l.mastivusVahl,1797—W&SMexico,CentralAmerica,WestIndies,N,W&EColombia,Venezuela,WEcuador,andextremeNWPeru. N. l. rufescens Olfers, 1818 — E Bolivia, Paraguay, N Argentina, and S Brazil. Descriptive notes. Head—body 82-100 mm, tail 23-28 mm, ear 28-30 mm, hindfoot 25-34 mm, forearm 81-87 mm; weight 50-90 g. The Greater Bulldog Batis relatively large compared with other bats that coexist with it. Furis extremelyshort, almost velvety, andstiff. Colorvaries from light brown usually in females to rich reddish brown or even bright yellow in males. Thereis a pale, almost white thin line along dorsum from nape to rump. Venteris paler. Hindclaws are extremely elongated, sharp, recurved, and used to grabfish when feet are dipped into water. Interfemoral membraneis very wide androbust. Faceis verydistinctive, with naked cheeks and snout andslit upper lip. Ears are separate, narrow, and slightly elongated. Habitat. Dry and humid tropical forests, small coastal lagoons, mangroves, and other tropical vegetation types, with large trees and standing or slow-flowing waterin wide lakes, slow-flowing rivers, or estuaries from sea level to elevations of ¢. 500 m. The Greater Bulldog Bat roosts in hollowtrees, although some have been reportedin caves and rock crevices and occasionally human structures such as bridges. Food and Feeding. Greater Bulldog Bats are adaptedto feed on fish that they capture directly from the watersurface. Fresh andsaltwaterfish dominate diets, but insects are also eaten, sometimes copiously. In adequate conditions, it is quite a spectacle to watch small groups of Greater Bulldog Bats raking the water surface with their claws over and over. One study showed that as much as 80% of the diet can be insects. Other prey included shrimp, crabs, and scorpions. Greater Bulldog Bats have large cheek pouches that they use to store partially chewed prey; they forage until cheek pouches are full and then finely chew and swallow prey items. When foraging over water, they use three forms offishing: high search flight, low search flight, and random rake. In high search flight, they emit long (13-3-17 milliseconds) pulses and fly 20-50 cm above the water surface, point-dipping their hindclaws when a food item is detected. In low search flight, they emit shorter pulses (c.5:6 milliseconds) and fly only 2-4 cm above the water and also point-dip their hindclaws when prey is detected. During random rake, they echolocate as during high search flight but dip their hindclaws in the water for up to 10 m. Random rake is mostly used in the presence of copious jumping fish, and they can catch a fish every 50-200 passes. Breeding. Female Greater Bulldog Bats have a single embryo per pregnancy. One to two seasonal peaks in births occur, depending on the area. Often the first birth peak coincides with the onset of the rainy season, varying geographically from April to June, and the second peak, usually smaller than the first, occurs toward the end of the rainy season. Nevertheless, pregnant and lactating females and males with scrotal testes have been reported in every month of the year, but individual females have a single pregnancy per year. Although data are limited, gestation seemsto last c.5 months. Testes of males grow and produce sperm seasonally. Males have two ancillary skin sacks in the genital area that might have hormonal or glandular function. Activity patterns. Greater Bulldog Bats are nocturnal, generally leaving the roost within two hours after sunset. In Puerto Rico between November and January, they left the roost within an hour after sunset, but in August, they left an hour later with no apparent reason for the change. Most activity occurs before midnight. On cold nights with temperatures below 12°C, they did not leave the roost. Groups of bats seem to leave the roost together but do not return together. When female members of the same group left the roost, they lingered in its vicinity until other members of the group exited the roost, and then they all flew together toward foraging areas, within 5 m of each other. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Despite their large size and relatively open foraging habitat, few studies have been conducted to follow movements of Greater Bulldog Bats. They have relatively small home ranges, and flying distances to forage are less than 1 km from the roost. Foraging females belonging to the same group had overlapping home ranges, with radio-locations indistinguishable from one another, and females returned to the same foraging area night after night, even in different years. Males forage separately from females. A study in Puerto Rico showed that colonies are usually formed by groups of 3-10 females and a single male, plus additional groups of 1-3 bachelor males, but this structure can be repeated more than once in a roost. Social groups are very cohesive, and when a group of females moves to a different roost, they do it together and also with the resident male of the harem. These groups remain as stable units for at least two years. Females and males within a group mark themselves periodically with secretions from subaxial glands. Females rub their heads under wings of other females; males mark themselves the same way. Females also rub their chins or heads against heads of other females within the same social group inside a roost but never against members of other groups. Some females occasionally move temporally to join other social groups in the roost, and during those occasions, all other females smell a visitor’s wings and head for about a minute; the visitor eventually returns to the original group. Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. No country across its distribution lists the Greater Bulldog Bat as threatened or endangered. If habitat is in good condition, their populations are stable. It is likely, however, that removal or disturbance of roosts, such as large hollow trees or caves, can have negative effects on Greater Bulldog Bats. Bibliography.

2. Lesser Bulldog Bat Noctilio albiventris French: Petit Noctilion / German: Kleines Hasenmaul / Spanish: Noctilio pequeno Taxonomy. Noctilio albiventris Desmarest, 1818, “I’Amérique méridionale.” Restricted by A. Cabrera in 1958 to Rio Sao Francisco, Bahia, Brazil. Noctilio albiventris is paraphyletic with respect to N. leporinus. This has been proposed and confirmed using several different molecular markers, including mitochondrial and nuclear markers. Recent studies suggest that N. albiventris is a complex of at least three and maybe four cryptic species yet to be determined but roughly coinciding with the current subspecific arrangement. Four subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. N.a.albiventrisDesmarest,1818—lowerAmazonBasinofVenezuela,theGuianas,andC&FEBrazil. N.a.affinisd’Orbigny,1836—SEColombia,EEcuador,upperAmazonBasinofVenezuela,EPeru,WBrazil,andBolivia. N.a.cabreraiW.B.Davis,1976—SBrazil,Paraguay,andNEArgentina. N. a. minor Osgood, 1910 —- extreme S Mexico (Chiapas), Central America, N Colombia, and N Venezuela. Descriptive notes. Head-body 65-68 mm, tail 13-16 mm, ear 22-24 mm, hindfoot 16-19 mm, forearm 54-70 mm; weight 22-42 g. The Lesser Bulldog Bat is a smaller version of the Greater Bulldog Bat (N. leporinus), with some minor differences. Hindclaws of the Lesser Bulldog Bat are much shorter than those in the Greater Bulldog Bat and shorter than calcar. Size and relative length of hindclaws easily allow distinction between the two congeners. Fur is very short and pale brown to bright yellow. Head is almost hairless, with loose cheek skin and hare-like upper lip. Habitat. Primarily tropical rainforests but also other tropical vegetation types such as dry tropical forest and mangrove from sea level to elevations of ¢. 1100 m. Lesser Bulldog Bats usually roost in hollow trees but can also be found in buildings. They often share roosts with other species of bats such as mastiff bats (Molossus sp.). In the Beni Department of Bolivia, Lesser Bulldog Bats commute among forest islands across tropical grasslands and use hollow trees of at least eleven species; roosting trees have greater diameters than non-roosting trees. Food and Feeding. Diet of the Lesser Bulldog Bat is strongly dominated by insects, primarily hemipterans, beetles, moths, homopterans, and dipterans. According to all published studies, Lesser Bulldog Bats feed copiously on insects, but other studies also show that they eatfruits of species of Moraceae (Ficus, Brosimum, and Morus) and Urticaceae (Cecropia) and occasionally fish. Pollen of various tree species has also been reported in stomach contents or fecal pellets. Given that they often fly in open areas, they are believed to be good seed dispersers. One study found many remains of dytiscid beetles, a primarily aquatic species, in the diet, and a pimelodid catfish swallowed a Lesser Bulldog Bat, both suggesting association with aquatic environments. Lesser Bulldog Bats have been observed scooping insect prey from the water surface. Observations in the wild show that they fly in open areas including along slow-flowing streams and rivers, lakes, and estuaries, briefly dipping or dragging their feet or interfemoral membrane in the water to scoop up insects. They spend an average of ¢.120 minutes outside of the roost, most of that time foraging. Breeding. Reproductive habits of the Lesser Bulldog Bat indicate a monoestrous cycle, with mating in November—-March and young born in April-May in Panama. In other regions, the cycle varies accordingly. Littersize is one, although one instance of twinning was documented. Reproductive accessory glands, including prostate, are very similar in the Lesser Bulldog Bat and other bats in the families Emballonuridae, Phyllostomidae, and Molossidae. Captive juvenile Lesser Bulldog Bats did not fly until 5-6 weeks old and nursed until ¢.3 months old. Lactating females suckled only their young, which they appeared to recognize from acoustic cues emitted by their young. Mother and young call in coordinated duets in the roost and while flying and foraging together. Males have two ancillary skin sacks in the genital area that might have hormonal or glandular function. Activity patterns. Lesser Bulldog Bats leave their roost quite early, right after sunset, in contrast with their larger congener, the Greater Bulldog Bat that leaves the roost up to two hours after sunset. This difference has been suggested to be a mechanism to avoid competition between congeners. Lesser Bulldog Bats stay active usually between sunset and 1-2 hours after sunset and then return to their roost, with a second peak of activity around midnight. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Some studies indicate that Lesser Bulldog Bats might be philopatric and very loyal to a particular roost. Social organization seems to be harem-based, with up to ten females per male and several harems inhabiting any particular roost. There is an instance of predation by the great rufous woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes major)—a bird that is known to capture prey and nest inside hollow trees. Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. No country considers the Lesser Bulldog Bat at any level of risk of extinction. In Bolivia, some populations might be prone to extirpation because misdirected control of Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) can destroy hollow tree roosts. Bibliography.

A new genus and species of fossil bat, Koopmanycteris palaeomormoops, representing an ancient member of the endemic Neotropical family Mormoopidae, is described from the Oligocene of Florida. This new species is known from two paleokarst deposits in northern peninsular Florida, the early Oligocene (Whitneyan, 30–32 Ma) I-75 Local Fauna in Alachua County and the late Oligocene (early Arikareean, 26–28 Ma) Brooksville 2 Local Fauna in Hernando County. The discovery of Koopmanycteris extends the fossil record of the Mormoopidae back in time almost 30 million years. Compared to most other described taxa of North American Tertiary bats, the fossil sample of Koopmanycteris palaeomormoops is substantial, consisting of 50 specimens including: P4, all lower teeth from p3 through m3, dentary, petrosal, humerus, proximal radius, and femur. Koopmanycteris is morphologically intermediate between the two living genera of mormoopids, Mormoops and Pteronotus, but is most similar to the former taxon. Characters shared by Koopmanycteris and Mormoops include: large anterolabial basin on P4; large, double-rooted p3; secondary process ventral to angular process on dentary; absence of groove separating capitulum into medial and lateral portions on distal humerus; presence of prominent ridge on posterolateral edge of distal humeral shaft; rounded extremity on proximal radius; and presence of a prominent ridge or tubercle on posterodistal shaft of femur. All of these features appear to be relatively derived, with the exception of the large, double-rooted p3. In several mandibular characters, Koopmanycteris more closely resembles Pteronotus, including: pronounced posteroventral process on the symphysis; lack of curvature of ventral edge of horizontal ramus between posterior edge of symphysis and p4; and less pronounced dorsal upturning of ascending ramus compared to Mormoops. Koopmanycteris retains the primitive dental morphology of Mormoops, with a large double-rooted p3, and the primitive posterior mandibular morphology of Pteronotus, with the lesser degree of dorsal flexion of the ascending ramus. A phylogenetic analysis including all known extant mormoopid lineages as well as representative outgroups from other noctilionoid clades confirms that Koopmanycteris and Mormoops are sister taxa. These findings indicate that the lineages leading to Pteronotus and Mormoops were distinct by ∼30 Ma. The fossil record tentatively indicates that the Mormoopidae originated in North America in the early Oligocene or earlier, and may not have reached South America until the Pliocene following the onset of the Great American Biotic Interchange. Several lines of evidence support this hypothesis: (1) the earliest fossil record of the Mormoopidae is in the early Oligocene of Florida; (2) the greatest diversity and endemism of modern mormoopid species is in the West Indies; and (3) the absence of a pre–late Pleistocene record, lack of endemism, and marginal recent distribution of mormoopids in South America. Most species of living mormoopids are obligate cave dwellers, suggesting that the occurrence of caves and paleokarst deposits has affected both their modern distribution and fossil record.

Patterns of parasite abundance and prevalence are thought to be influenced by several host characteristics such as size, sex, developmental stage, and seasonality. We examined two obligatory ectoparasites of the bat Noctilio leporinus (L.) (Chiroptera, Noctilionidae) to test whether prevalence and abundance of Noctiliostrebla aitkeni Wenzel and Paradyschiria fusca Speiser (Diptera, Streblidae) are influenced by the host characteristics. During this survey, 2110 flies were collected. The total abundance was 1150 N. aitkeni and 950 P. fusca. The prevalence of both species was shown to be superior to 75% and neither host size, sex, reproductive stage nor season influenced significantly the variation of the observed values. N. aitkeni were more abundant than P. fusca in all seasons except winter. Both flies showed a significant seasonal variation in terms of abundance but host biological characteristics (host size, sex, and reproductive stage) did not play a significant role as structuring factors of the batflies component community.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-01-01 Bats present unique features among mammals with respect to reproduction, and although neotropical bats do not have a hibernation period, many of their reproductive characteristics vary seasonally and interspecifically. Thus, this work aimed to examine the reproductive structures of 18 species belonging to five families of Brazilian bats. The gross anatomy of the testes varied little; however, the epididymis of Emballonuridae and Vespertilionidae showed exceptional structures with a large elongation of the caudal region. We observed a wide variation in the positioning of the testes: Phyllostomidae and Noctilionidae presented external testes; Emballonuridae and Molossidae presented migratory testes that may be in intra-abdominal or external positions; and Vespertilionidae displayed scrotal testes. In the histological evaluation, we observed a different pattern in vespertilionid species, with testicular regression and sperm retention/storage in the cauda epididymis in the five species analyzed. Similar testicular regression was observed in Molossops temminckii; however, sperm retention/storage was not observed in this species. These data suggest that although the species analyzed are tropical species that do not present a prolonged period of torpor (hibernation), they still maintain a period of seminiferous tubule regression and sperm storage very similar to that observed in hibernating bats. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Noctilio leporinus (Linnaeus) VOUCHER MATERIAL: 3 females (AMNH *265974, *267398; MNHN *1995.863); see table 9 for measurements. IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and comparative measurements of Noctilio leporinus can be found in Husson (1962, 1978) and Davis (1973). Davis recognized three subspecies in his revision: N. l. mastivus (Mexico and the southernmost Bahamas south to western Ecuador and Venezuela), N. l. leporinus (Guianas and eastern Ecuador to eastern Brazil), and N. l. rufescens (Bolivia and southern Brazil to northern Argentina). Our Paracou vouchers conform with Davis��� (1973) description of the nominate subspecies and are similar in size to specimens previously reported from Surinam.
