Northern distributional extensions of Peropteryx leucoptera and Peropteryx pallidoptera (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae) from Vichada, Colombia ; Extensión de distribución norte de Peropteryx leucoptera y Peropteryx pallidoptera (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae) de Vichada, Colombia
The White-winged Dog-like Bat (Peropteryx leucoptera) and the Pale-winged Dog-like Bat (Peropteryx pallidoptera) are distinguished from the other emballonurid bats because they have white or translucent wings. Their distribution and biology are poorly known due to they are no captured in traditional bat inventories using mist nets. In this contribution, we extend the known distribution of P. leucoptera 260 km NE and P. pallidoptera 290 km NE. Our records are from three specimens collected in a mammal assessment at the riparian corridor of the river Meta in the Vichada department. This locality... Mehr ...

The White-winged Dog-like Bat (Peropteryx leucoptera) and the Pale-winged Dog-like Bat (Peropteryx pallidoptera) are distinguished from the other emballonurid bats because they have white or translucent wings. Their distribution and biology are poorly known due to they are no captured in traditional bat inventories using mist nets. In this contribution, we extend the known distribution of P. leucoptera 260 km NE and P. pallidoptera 290 km NE. Our records are from three specimens collected in a mammal assessment at the riparian corridor of the river Meta in the Vichada department. This locality is the northern limit of the distributional range of both species. We highlight the need to continue the fieldwork on mammals inventories with specimen collections through the Colombian Llanos. We call attention to the importance of horizontal rotten logs as roost of P. leucoptera and other little known neotropical bats. ; El murciélago cara de perro de alas blancas (Peropteryx leucoptera) y el murciélago cara de perro de alas pálidas (Peropteryx pallidoptera) se diferencian de otros murciélagos embalonúridos porque tienen las alas blancas o translucidas. Su distribución y biología son poco conocidas porque no son capturados usanso redes de niebla en inventarios tradicionales. En esta contribución, ampliamos la distribución conocida de P. leucoptera 260 km al noreste y la de P. pallidopera 290 km al noroeste. Nuestros registros son de tres especímenes recolectados en un inventario en el corredor ripario del río Meta en el departamento del Vichada. Esta localidad, es el límite norte de la distribución de ambas especies. Es necesario continuar el trabajo de campo e inventarios de mamíferos con recolección de especímenes a lo largo de la región de los Llanos. llamamos la atención sobre la importancia de los troncos caidos como refugio de P. leucoptera y otras especies poco conocidas de murciélagos neotropicales.
