Abstract

Reports of Peropteryx trinitatis in Brazil are restricted to the northern and northeastern regions. In this study, we extend its known geographic range to include central Brazil, with the first report of P. trinitatis in the Cerrado of the state of Mato Grosso. This is the southernmost known record for this species, 900 km from the closest record.
