Description
Summary:We report the northernmost collecting locality for the nectar-feeding bat Hsunycteris cadenai in the Colombian Biogeographic Chocó. This record extends the range of the species to 224 km north of the species type locality in Zabaletas river, department of Valle del Cauca, and 75 km west of Santa Cecilia, Risaralda. The specimen was collected on May 5, 2010, in a primary forest in Pacurita, Central Chocó. Our specimen of H. cadenai (CMCH 883) exhibits all the diagnostic characteristics of the species including the lateral projections on the postorbital region, a skull length greater than 20.0 mm, and a forearm shorter than 34.5 mm. We also present an updated distribution map for the species.
