Cynomops planirostris

Description

Cynomops planirostris (Peters 1865)

[Molossus] planirostris Peters 1865, Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1865: 575.

Type Locality: French Guiana, Cayenne.

Vernacular Names: Southern Dog-faced Bat.

Distribution: Panama to Peru, Bolivia, N Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, French Guiana, Surinam, Venezuela, probably Guyana.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Lectotype designated by Carter and Dolan (1978). Does not include milleri or paranus; see Williams and Genoways (1980 c), Barquez et al. (1993), and Simmons and Voss (1998). Specimens previously reported from Ecuador apparently represent paranus; planirostris is not presently known from Ecuador (Reid et al., 2000).
