Saccopteryx leptura (Schreber, 1774)

Two specimens from El Paraiso, 1 km N Cosigueina, 20 m, Chinandega, on

the Cosigueina Peninsula, provide the fourth locality of record for this

white-lined bat in Nicaragua. Jones (1964a:506) and Davis _et al._

(1964:375) earlier reported a total of eight specimens from the

departments of Managua and Zelaya. The species is known as far north in

Middle America as Chiapas (Carter _et al._, 1966:489).

Our two bats, both females, were shot on the evening of 1 March 1968 as

they foraged around a yard light. One carried an embryo that measured 8

mm (crown-rump), whereas the other was reproductively inactive.
