Treatment

Uroderma bilobatum Peters 1866 , Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1866: 392.

Type Locality: Brazil, São Paulo.

Vernacular Names: Common Tent-making Bat.

Subspecies: :

Subspecies Uroderma bilobatum subsp. bilobatum Peters 1866

Subspecies Uroderma bilobatum subsp. convexum Lyon 1902

Subspecies Uroderma bilobatum subsp. davisi Baker and McDaniel 1972

Distribution: Veracruz and Oaxaca ( Mexico) south to Peru, Bolivia, the Guianas, and Brazil; Trinidad.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: See Baker and Clark (1987). There are three chromosomal races that are largely genetically distinct although some hybridization may occur; these may represent distinct species (Hoffman et al., 2003). I have chosen to treat these races as subspecies here pending further study of this complex.
