SPECIES Sturnira (Sturnira) luisi
Author: | Davis, 1980. | Citation: | Occas. Pap. Mus. Texas Tech Univ., 70: 1. | Common Name: | Luis's Yellow-shouldered Bat | Type Locality: | Costa Rica, Alajuela, 11 mi. (18 km) NE Naranjo, Cariblanco, 3,000 ft. (914 m). | Distribution: | Costa Rica to Ecuador and NW Peru. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Subgenus Sturnira. The presence of this species in Colombia has not been verified; previously confused with Sturnira ludovici (Tamsitt, in Honacki et al., 1982). Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990) suggested that luisi might be conspecific with tildae, but see Simmons and Voss (1998). |
