SPECIES Platyrrhinus dorsalis
Author: | Thomas, 1900. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 5: 269. | Common Name: | Thomas's Broad-nosed Bat | Type Locality: | Ecuador, Paramba, 1,100 m. | Distribution: | Panama to Peru and Bolivia. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Although the named forms umbratus, oratus, and aquilus were regarded as synonyms of dorsalis by Carter and Rouk (1973), these apparently represent a distinct species for which the oldest name is umbratus; see Handley (1976). |
