Abstract
Lonchophylla peracchii was recently described from Rio de Janeiro Atlantic Forest samples previously assigned to either L. bokermanni Sazima, Vizotto & Taddei, 1978 or L. mordax Thomas, 1903. The species is currently restricted to the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil. Based on museum specimens, we extend the species distribution to the Atlantic Forest of Northeastern Brazil. The specimens reported here were collected in Ilhéus, Bahia state, representing a range extension of ca. 500 km northward.
