Abstract

During May, June and July of 2004, the feeding habits of Platyrrhinus lineatus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) were investigated. Each morning food remains (dry oral pellets, seeds, feces and partly eaten foods) were collected in two day roosts sites located inside the main building at Embrapa Cerrados. Fruits of Emmotum nitens (Benth.) Miers (1852) and leaves of Solanum lycocarpum S. Hil. (1833) were items consumed by P. lineatus. Independent of plant and bat distribution area, the use of Solanum leaves by P. lineatus appears to be common.
