Naturgesch., 9: 367. | Common Name: | Wagner's Mustached Bat | Type Locality: | Brazil, Mato Grosso, São Vicente. | Distribution: | Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and Surinam to S Sonora and S Tamaulipas (Mexico); Trinidad. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Often placed in the subgenus Chilonycteris (e.g., Smith, 1972; Simmons and Conway, 2001), but recent molecular studies suggest that it represents an unnamed subgenus (Lewis-Oritt et al., 2001a; Van Den Bussche and Weyandt, 2003). Includes psilotis; see Smith (1972). This complex may include more than one species (Lewis-Oritt et al., 2001a). |
