VOUCHER MATERIAL: 1 female (MNHN *1995.1029) and 1 male (AMNH *267856); see table 20 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: Hill’s (1964) detailed original description was based on only a single specimen. Comparative measurements of additional material were subsequently reported by Swanepoel and Genoways (1979), Genoways and Williams (1986), Brosset and Charles­Dominique (1990), and McCarthy and Ochoa (1991). Pine et al. (1996) provid­ ed a comprehensive review of Glyphonycteris daviesi with measurements of specimens from througout its known range. No subspecies are currently recognized (Koopman, 1994; Pine et al., 1996).

Our specimens of Glyphonycteris daviesi conform closely to previous descriptions of the species, although our male (AMNH 267856) has a slightly shorter forearm than previously reported.

FIELD OBSERVATIONS: Our two specimens of Glyphonycteris daviesi , an adult male and an adult female, were captured in the same ground­level mistnet on the same night in swampy primary forest.
