Abstract

The Smoky Bat, Amorphochilus schnablii, is a poorly known furipterid bat species endemic to the west coast of Ecuador, Peru, and the extreme north of Chile. The occurrence of this species in Chile has been limited to a single report from the year 1950, in the locality of Cuya in the Camarones valley, Arica, and Parinacota region. Based on acoustic surveys, we report here a new record of A. schnablii for the Camarones valley filling a gap of 71 years with no records. We also present a description of its echolocation calls.
