Abstract
Molossus pretiosus Miller, 1902 is known from two localities in Brazil: one in the Caatinga of Minas Gerais, and other in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul. We report here the first record of M. pretiosus for the Cerrado of Bahia, Northeastern Brazil. This record extends the species distribution by about 200 km northward.
