Abstract

ABSTRACT Lophostoma carrikeri has been mostly recorded within the Amazon biome. There are scarce records in the northern Brazilian Amazon, but also records outside this biome, which were neglected in literature. The aim of this study was to update and extend the distribution of L. carrikeri. Seven new localities in Brazil were provided, including the first records for the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso, filling a large gap in the species distribution, and three additional records for the state of Pará. Our results reinforce the notion that L. carrikeri is widely distributed in the Amazon, but is also present in other biomes in Brazil, such as Caatinga, Cerrado, and transitional areas.

Highlights

  • Revisão da distribuição geográfica de Lophostoma carrikeri (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), com ampliação de distribuição em áreas de transição no sudoeste da Amazônia

  • Nossos resultados reforçam a noção de que L. carrikeri é amplamente distribuída na Amazônia, mas também está presente em outros biomas, como Caatinga e Cerrado, além de áreas de transição

  • Only a few records of L. carrikeri are known from central Colombia (McCarthy et al 1983), Guyana (Lim et al 1999), Venezuela (Allen 1910; Gardner 1988), French Guiana (Williams and Genoways 2008), Suriname (Genoways and Williams 1984; Lim et al 2005), south and northeastern Ecuador (Camacho et al 2014), east and northeastern Peru
