Review of the distribution of Lophostoma carrikeri (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), with range extension to transitional vegetation zones in the southwestern Amazon
ABSTRACT Lophostoma carrikeri has been mostly recorded within the Amazon biome. There are scarce records in the northern Brazilian Amazon, but also records outside this biome, which were neglected in literature.

Summary: | ABSTRACT Lophostoma carrikeri has been mostly recorded within the Amazon biome. There are scarce records in the northern Brazilian Amazon, but also records outside this biome, which were neglected in literature. The aim of this study was to update and extend the distribution of L. carrikeri. Seven new localities in Brazil were provided, including the first records for the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso, filling a large gap in the species distribution, and three additional records for the state of Pará. Our results reinforce the notion that L. carrikeri is widely distributed in the Amazon, but is also present in other biomes in Brazil, such as Caatinga, Cerrado, and transitional areas.
RESUMO Lophostoma carrikeri tem sido registrado principalmente no bioma Amazônia. Há escassos registros no norte da Amazônia brasileira, mas também há registros fora deste bioma que foram negligenciados na literatura. Nosso objetivo foi atualizar e ampliar a distribuição de L. carrikeri. Reportamos sete novas localidades no Brasil, incluindo os primeiros registros para Rondônia e Mato Grosso, preenchendo uma grande lacuna na distribuição desta espécie, e três registros adicionais para o Pará. Nossos resultados reforçam a noção de que L. carrikeri é amplamente distribuída na Amazônia, mas também está presente em outros biomas, como Caatinga e Cerrado, além de áreas de transição. |
