New records of bats from the northern region of the Peruvian Amazon

Abstract

The northern Amazon Basin in Peru is one of the most diverse areas for small mammals in the world. In this work, I present information related to the diversity of bat species in the Amazonian region of Iquitos, Peru, where nearly 60% of the 152 bat species known to Peru recorded. Unlike in previous investigations in this area, bat surveys were designed to detect species living in urban and rural areas. The results have added a new bat species (Eumops delticus) to the Peruvian fauna, eight new species for the region around Iquitos (Peropteryx macrotis, Peropteryx pallidoptera, Anoura caudifer, Lionycteris spurrelli, Vampyrum spectrum, Thyroptera lavali, Cynomops planirostris, and Molossus coibensis), and a new species for Northeast Peru (Eumops maurus).

摘要：位于秘鲁的亚马孙盆地北部是世界小型哺乳动物多样性最高的地区之一。该文报道了亚马孙流域在秘 鲁伊基托斯的蝙蝠物种多样性：这里的蝙蝠物种数约占秘鲁已知 152 个蝙蝠物种的 60%。与在该地区之前开展的 研究不同, 本次调查范围为城市和农村地区。结果发现 1 个秘鲁新记录(Eumops delticus)、8 个伊基托斯新记录 (Peropteryx macrotis、Peropteryx pallidoptera、Anoura caudifer、Lionycteris spurrelli、Vampyrum spectrum、 Thyroptera lavali、Cynomops planirostris 和 Molossus coibensis)和 1 个秘鲁东北部新记录(Eumops maurus).
