SPECIES Uroderma bilobatum
Author: | Peters, 1866. | Citation: | Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1866: 392. | Common Name: | Common Tent-making Bat | Type Locality: | Brazil, São Paulo. | Distribution: | Veracruz and Oaxaca (Mexico) south to Peru, Bolivia, the Guianas, and Brazil; Trinidad. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | See Baker and Clark (1987). There are three chromosomal races that are largely genetically distinct although some hybridization may occur; these may represent distinct species (Hoffman et al., 2003). I have chosen to treat these races as subspecies here pending further study of this complex. |
