Platyrrhinus incarum (Thomas, 1912)

VOUCHER MATERIAL: Waqanki: 4 adult females ( FMNH 203624 , 203626 ; MUSM 39199 , 39200 ), 7 adult males ( FMNH 203442 , 203620 , 203622 ; MUSM 39201–39204 ) ; see table 13 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of Platyrrhinus incarum provided by Anderson (1997), Velazco et al. (2010), and Velazco and Lim (2014). No subspecies are currently recognized in P. incarum ( Velazco et al., 2010) . Velazco et al. (2010) identified all the material from Mayo River basin as P. incarum . Our Mayo River basin specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: small size (FA 35–40 mm); poorly developed (almost imperceptible) paraoccipital processes; barely perceptible fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch; two stylar cuspules on the posterior cristid of P4; M1 protocone well developed; stylar cuspule present on lingual face of the paracone of M2; and m2 hypoconid present ( Velazco et al., 2010). Measurements of our specimens fall within the range previously reported for the species.
