Peropteryx macrotis macrotis (Wagner, 1843)

Four females (one young and three adult) captured 5 km N and 9 km E

Condega, 800 m, in Madriz, on 23 June 1964, provide the first record of

this small sac-winged species from Nicaragua. The bats were shot from

daytime roosts in small, well-lighted, cave-like spaces formed among

immense blocks of granite in a small patch of tropical deciduous forest

surrounded by extensive pine-oak woodland. None of the adult females

was reproductively active. _Glossophaga soricina_, _Diphylla ecaudata_,

and a large nursery colony of _Desmodus rotundus_ were found in

association with the _Peropteryx_. Measurements of our specimens agree

closely with those reported for material from El Salvador (Felten,

1955:284) and Costa Rica (Starrett and Casebeer, 1968:3-4).
