Dayana Araujo Reyes, Marjorie Machado

Abstract


Chrotopterus auritus is distributed along the Neotropic. In Venezuela has been registered in The Andes, Lake Maracaibo, Coriano System, Central Cordillera, Western Cordillera, Deltaic System and south of Orinoco River, between 10-1600 m. During a study on bat communities we captured a specimen of Chrotopterus auritus at 2000 m in a cloud forest of Pico Codazzi Natural Monument. This elevational record is the highest for this specie in Venezuela.
