Subfamily Micronycterinae Van den Bussche, View in CoL
1992
Two genera ( Micronycteris and Lampronycteris ) and 12 species are currently recognized in the subfamily Micronycterinae (Williams and Genoways, 2008; Larsen et al., 2011; Siles et al., 2013; Baker et al., 2016; Cirranello et al., 2016; Simmons and Cirranello, 2020). Members of this subfamily are small to medium-sized bats (forearm 32–46 mm) that can be recognized by the following combination of traits: noseleaf simple, with spear equal to or longer than twice the height of horseshoe; labial border of horseshoe fused to upper lip, forming a thickened ridge; chin with two dermal pads with smoothly rounded lateral margins; calcar equal to or longer than foot; ventral fur unicolored; and outer upper incisor in contact with canine (Cirranello et al., 2016). We recorded all seven micronycterine species expected to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve.
