Taxonomy. Three species of Glossophaga É. Geoffroy, 1818 occur in Brazil: G. commissarisi Gardner, 1962 , G. longirostris Miller, 1898 , and G. soricina (Pallas, 1766) ( Nogueira et al. 2014) . The diagnosis is based mainly on tooth morphology: G. soricina and G. longirostris can be distinguished from G. commissarisi by the position and shape of incisors; lower incisors are larger and usually in contact, forming a complete arc between canines in the first two species, and reduced with distinct gaps between them in G. commissarisi ; upper incisors greatly procumbent in the first two, and not procumbent in G. commissarisi . Glossophaga soricina has inner upper incisors larger than the outer in oclusal view and spatulated lower incisors while G. longirostris has inner upper incisors about the same size of the outer and large and weakly cusped lower incisors ( Webster 1993, Nogueira et al. 2007 a, López-Baucells et al. 2016). Specimens from PECB (ZSP 060; see Table 5 for measurements) fit in the description of G. soricina and have a bicolored dorsal fur, with light brown basis and nut-brown tips, bicolored ventral fur with light brown basis and nut-brown tips. The rostrum is short and the lower lip is grooved and surrounded by small warts.

Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in all biomes and states ( Tavares et al. 2008, Reis et al. 2017). In São Paulo, the species is also widely distributed, occurring in all vegetational formations ( Garbino 2016).

Field observations. We captured one adult male in September in a building roof, in sampling site S17 (Appendix 1). We captured one M. rufus in the same roost.
