New records for Brazil and revised distribution of Lionycteris spurrelli (Phyllostomidae: Lonchophyllinae), with notes on its morphological diagnosis

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We report ten new localities for the nectar-feeding bat Lionycteris spurrelli Thomas, 1913 in Brazil. Records are from Amazonia, Atlantic Forest, and Cerrado biomes. The new records from Minas Gerais state clarify the southern limits of the species. We also report the second known locality of the species in Mato Grosso state, and third for Amazonas state. We provide the first records from the southeastern region of Pará state. We present morphometric data and discuss key diagnostic discrete characters for the species, comparing them with published data.
