This species has been reported in Middle America from as far north as
southern Mexico. It evidently is uncommon in Costa Rica (see Gardner
_et al._, 1970:722) and Panama (Handley, 1966b:767). Our material,
all collected from mist nets and consisting of 16 specimens from the
northwestern department of Chinandega and one from Isla de Ometepe in
Lago de Nicaragua, constitutes the first report of this bat from
Nicaragua.
Four of five females taken in early March were pregnant; embryos
averaged 26.0 (25-29) mm in crown-rump length. Four females taken in
July carried embryos 14, 20, 23, and 25 mm in length. Testes of five
adult males captured in March and April had an average length of 4.4
(3-7) mm, whereas those of two taken in July were 3 mm in length.
