UNVOUCHERED OBSERVATIONS: One individual of Chiroderma trinitatum was captured at Tapiche during the Sierra del Divisor Rapid Biological Inventory (Jorge and Velazco, 2006).

IDENTIFICATION: Chiroderma trinitatum is distinguished from other congeneric species by its small size (forearm <43 mm, greatest length of skull <23 mm); conspicuous white facial and middorsal stripes; and inner upper incisors that converge only distally, contacting each other at the tips (Gardner, 2008e; Garbino et al., 2012, 2020; López-Baucells et al., 2018).
