A male fringe-lipped bat netted over a small stream at Cara de Mono, 50
m, Zelaya, in the Caribbean lowlands, on 24 April, 1968, constitutes
the second known occurrence of this species in Nicaragua. Carter _et
al._ (1966:491) earlier reported two males from Rio Coco, 64 mi NNE
Jinotega, 1000 ft, Jinotega. The testes of our specimen were 4 mm long.
Davis and Carter (1962:69), Carter _et al._ (_loc. cit._), and Starrett
and Casebeer (1968:11) did not apply a trinomen to bats of this species
and noted overlap of measurements between _T. c. cirrhosus_ (Spix) and
_T. c. coffini_ Goldman. However, until detailed comparisons can be
made, we follow Jones (1966:452) in retaining the subspecific name
_coffini_.
