Artibeus toltecus toltecus (Saussure, 1860)

_Specimens._--_Matagalpa_: Santa Maria de Ostuma, 1250 m, 5; 2

km N, 6 km E Esquipulas, 960 m, 1.

This bat has been reported from Nicaragua previously by Andersen

(1908:300) and Davis (1969:28), based on a total of four specimens. We

netted this species at Santa Maria de Ostuma in patches of cloud forest

at a cafetal. The specimen from near Esquipulas was taken in a net

placed across a trail in second growth forest. Two females collected on

11 April and one taken on 30 June were pregnant (embryos 21, 26, and 12

mm, respectively, in crown-rump length). Testes of a male netted on 14

March were 7 mm in length, whereas those of two obtained on 11 April

measured 4 and 7 mm. Selected measurements of our six specimens are

given in Table 2.
