Abstract
Uroderma magnirostrum Davis, 1968 (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) is distributed from Mexico to the southeastern coast of Brazil. Here we report the first record in the Northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil, based on the capture of one adult female in an urban forest fragment in the state of Paraiba. Morphological features and morphometric data of our specimen fall within the range described previously for the species. The present record extends the known species distribution ca. 450 km to the Northeast from the closest locality in Sergipe state. Uroderma magnirostrum is currently recorded in 23 localities from 15 states in Brazil, in the Amazonia, Cerrado, Caatinga and Atlantic Forest biomes. Additionally, our record updated the bat list of the Paraiba state to 62 bat species.
