An Annotated Check List of the Mammals of Michoacán, México
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Specimens examined_, 4: nos. 11377, Univ. Kan., and alcoholic
specimens nos. 950-952 B. Villa R. field numbers, I. B. (specimens in
Instituto de Biología, Univ. de México), distributed by localities as
follows: Hacienda El Sabino, Michoacán, approximately 25 mi. S
Uruapan, 1; El Guayabo, 34 kms. S Uruapan, 3.
_Remarks._--Specimens from El Guayabo were taken in a natural cave
which they shared with _Desmodus rotundus murinus_ and _Artibeus
planirostris planirostris_.

The length of the thumb averages 7.4 mm. (7.0 to 7.7). As compared
with _G. s. alticola_ from northeast Tlaxcala according to the
description given by Davis (1944:377), our specimens agree with
_alticola_ in length of thumb. In all other characters they correspond
to _leachii_.
=Choeronycteris mexicana= Tschudi
Long-tongued Bat; Spanish, Murciélago Carilargo
_Choeronycteris mexicana_ Tschudi, Fauna Peruana, p. 72, 1844,
type from México.
_Range._--Statewide.
_Specimens examined_, 4: nos. 100078-100081, from 2 mi. W Pátzcuaro,
7,700 ft.
_Remarks._--A colony of 20 or more bats of this species was found in a
natural cave. Four were caught by hand as they flew about after we
disturbed them. We returned on the following day, but found that all
the bats had left.
=Leptonycteris nivalis nivalis= (Saussure)
Leaf-nosed Bat; Spanish, Murciélago Lengüilarga
_M[=Ischnoglossa]. nivalis_ Saussure, Revue et Magasin de
Zoölogie, 12(ser. 2):492, November, 1860, type from near snow
line on Mount Orizaba.
_Leptonycteris nivalis_, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington,
13:126, April 6, 1900.
_Range._--Probably middle and higher altitudes through state.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 91911, Univ. Michigan Mus. Zoöl., from
1050 m., 12 miles (on Huetamo Road) south of Tzitzio.
_Remarks._--The subspecific name _L. n. nivalis_ is tentatively
applied to this specimen in the absence of an opportunity to compare
it directly with the holotype or topotypes of _Leptonycteris nivalis
yerbabuenae_ Martinez and Villa (1940:291). Unfortunately, the
materials on which this name, _L. n. yerbabuenae_, was based all were
destroyed in 1945 or 1946 while Villa was absent from the Institute of
Biology of the University of México.
=Artibeus planirostris planirostris= (Spix)
Big Leaf-nosed Bat; Spanish, Murciélago Zapotero
_Phyllostoma planirostre_ Spix, Simiarum et vespertilionum
Brasiliensium, p. 66, 1823, type from suburbs of Bahia,
Brazil.
_Artibeus planirostris_, Dobson, Catal. Chiroptera, British
Mus., p. 515 (part), 1878.
_Range._--Probably southwestern part of state.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 945b B. Villa R., field no., I.B., El
Guayabo, 34 kms. S Uruapan.
