Our specimens constitute the first report of this species from
Nicaragua. We follow Burt and Stirton (1961:37) in regarding _D.
ecaudata_ as monotypic.
Specimens from Los Cocos (three males and two females) were captured in
a mist net stretched across a large, quiet pool in a small stream. The
banks supported well-developed gallery forest, the understory of which
had been cleared for human habitation; grassland (grazed) and small
stands of secondary forest obtained beyond the riparian habitat.
Domestic ducks, a possible source of food, were observed sleeping along
the bank of this stream and on top of large boulders situated in the
stream. Males from this locality taken on 20 February, 4 April, and 18
July had testicular lengths of 5, 6, and 6.5 mm, respectively. Two
adult females collected there on 4 April were reproductively inactive.
An adult male (testes 6 mm) from near Condega was captured on 23 June
in a daytime roost in a small, cave-like crevice (see account of
_Peropteryx marcotis_), and one from northeast of Esquipulas (testes 5
mm) was netted on 14 March along a forest trail (see account of
_Vampyressa pusilla_).
