Description
Chiroderma trinitatum Goodwin
VOUCHER MATERIAL: 8 females (AMNH *266255, *267189, *267473, *268531, *269117; MNHN *1995.1191, *1995.1192, *1995.1193) and 4 males (AMNH *266256, *268532, *269118; MNHN *1995.1194); see table 42 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of Chiroderma trinitatum from the Guianas and elsewhere can be found in Goodwin (1958), Goodwin and Greenhall (1961), Ojasti and Linares (1971), Gardner (1976), Genoways and Williams (1979), Swanepoel and Genoways (1979), and Brosset and CharlesDominique (1990). Although subspecies of C. trinitatum have been recognized by some authors (e.g., Jones and Carter, 1976), increased sampling throughout the range of this species has demonstrated more withinpopulation variation than previously suspected (see discussion in Williams and Genoways, 1980a). Pending a thorough systematic review, no trinomial nomenclature seems warranted (Koopman, 1994).
Our Paracou specimens conform in all respects to previous qualitative and morphometric descriptions of Chiroderma trinitatum.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS: We caught 13 Chiroderma trinitatum at Paracou, of which 11 were taken in groundlevel mistnets and 2 in elevated mistnets. Four of the groundlevel captures were made in swampy primary forest and the other seven in manmade clearings. The elevated mistnet captures were made at 17–20 m above a narrow dirt road.
