Abstract

This note reports the first record of Micronycteris
sanborni in Amazonas State, Brazil. It extends the species ’
known range > 2000 km northwestward and represents
the first record of M. sanborni in a humid tropical ecosystem,
suggesting that the species might not be exclusive
to dry areas, as previously thought. The individual was
captured in Vismia -dominated secondary forest within
the fragmented landscape of the Biological Dynamics of
Forest Fragments Project. We present morphometric data
and provide the first description of the echolocation calls
of this poorly known species.
