s from _subrufa_ (with which it
has been confused in the past) in being smaller, both externally and
cranially, and much darker in color as well as in the additional
characters mentioned by Handley (_loc. cit._).

Sturnira ludovici ludovici Anthony, 1924

An adult male (testes 6 mm) yellow-shouldered bat from Daraili, 5 km N
and 14 km E Condega, 940 m, in Madriz, provides the only specimen thus
far reported from Nicaragua. _Sturnira ludovici_ evidently is relatively
rare in Nicaragua and may be confined to the highlands in the north,
whereas the smaller _S. lilium_ is abundant throughout the country and
is the only other species of _Sturnira_ represented in our collections.

We provisionally refer our specimen to _S. l. ludovici_ pending Luis de
la Torre's forthcoming review of the genus. Selected measurements are:
total length, 77 mm; length of hind foot, 15 mm; length of ear, 19 mm;
length of forearm, 44.8 mm; weight, 26.8 gms; greatest length of skull,
24.2 mm; zygomatic breadth, 14.2 mm; postorbital breadth, 6.3 mm;
breadth of braincase, 10.5 mm; length of maxillary toothrow, 6.8 mm.

Uroderma magnirostrum Davis, 1968

In the original description of _U. magnirostrum_, Davis (1968:680)
reported one specimen from Nicaragua--a female in our collection from 3
km N and 4 km W Sapoa, 40 m, Rivas. We have two additional specimens,
both from the relatively dry northwestern Departamento de Chinandega.
On 8 July 1966, a male (testes 2 mm) was netted under trees along a
small stream at San Antonio, 35 m, and a female (one embryo 28 mm in
crown-rump length) was netted on 4 March 1968 over a warm spring at a
place 4.5 km N Cosigueina, 15 m. Judging from published records, this
species is limited in Middle America to the Pacific versant.

Selected measurements of the three Nicaraguan specimens are,
respectively: total length, 65, 64, 67 mm; length of hind foot, 12, 11,
14 mm; length of ear, 16.5, 16, 18 mm; length of forearm, 42.2, 41.7,
45.2 mm; weight, 16.2, 13.8, 21.4 (pregnant) gms; greatest length of
skull, 22.7, 23.4, 23.8 mm; zygomatic breadth, 12.4, 12.9, 13.1 mm;
postorbital breadth, 5.8, 5.5, 5.9 mm; mastoid breadth, 10.9, 11.1,
11.1 mm; length of maxillary toothrow, 7.9, 8.1, 8.6 mm.
