About This Book

The author presents a formal description of a newly identified vespertilionine bat collected at Izamal, Yucatán, providing detailed notes on pelage coloration, ear and tragus shape, skull and dental characters, and precise external measurements from fresh and prepared material. Comparative observations distinguish it from similar regional species by its smaller size, thinner ears, and relatively longer, tapering tragus. The single type specimen is cataloged and attributed to the collector, after whom the species is named.
