Myotis albescens (E. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1806)

This handsome _Myotis_ has been reported previously from Nicaragua only

from the Caribbean lowlands--from the Escondido and Prinzapolka rivers

(Miller and Allen, 1928:203). We netted two specimens, both males, at

Santa Rosa, 17 km N and 15 km E Boaco, 300 m, Boaco, in central

Nicaragua on 13 July and 9 August 1967, under the same conditions

described in the account of _Myotis elegans_. Testes of our specimens

were 7 and 6 mm, respectively, in length. External and cranial

measurements are as follows: total length, 84, 83 mm; length of tail,

31, 33 mm; length of hind foot, 9, 9 mm; length of ear, 15, 15 mm;

length of forearm, 32.9, 35.1 mm; weight, 6.4, 6.2 gms; greatest length

of skull, 13.9, 14.4 mm; zygomatic breadth, 8.9, 9.0 mm; postorbital
