Lonchophylla bokermanni Sazima, Vizotto & Taddei, 1978

Distribution.

Lonchophylla bokermanni is endemic to the Cerrado, where it has been collected in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais ( Dias et al. 2013, Teixeira et al. 2014, Almeida et al. 2016). Specimens collected in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and previously identified as Lonchophylla bokermanni (by Nascimento et al. 2013) actually correspond to the recently described Lonchophylla peracchii ( Dias et al. 2013).
