摘要:Anoura fistulata Muchhala, Mena-V & Albuja-V,
2005 is among the rarest species of phyllostomid
nectarivorous bats in Colombia, currently
documented from one specimen collected on the
eastern versant of the Colombian Andes in
Llorente, Department of Nariño (0°49'0.00" N,
77°15'0.00" W) (Mantilla-Meluk and Baker
2008). Anoura fistulata was originally described
from the Provincia Zamora Chinchipe, Condor
Mirador (03°38'08" S, 78°23'22" W), at an
elevation of 1,750 m above sea level, on the
eastern side of the Andes, in Ecuador. Anoura
fistulata represents one of the largest forms within
the A. caudifer complex (A. aequatoris
(Lönnberg, 1921), A. cadenai Mantilla-Meluk &
Baker, 2006, A. caudifer (É. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire,
1818), A. fistulata, and A. luismanueli Molinari,
1994), which is composed by small-sized species
with complete zygomata and well-developed
uropatagium. Among Anoura species, A. fistulata
is characterized by extreme morphological
adaptations to nectarivory (Muchhala 2006). We
report three additional records of A. fistulata for
Colombia, one of them representing a geographic
extension of the species by almost five degrees of
latitude north of the currently northernmost
known record of the species.
