Abstract | The genus Myotis (Vespertilionidae, Myotinae) comprises a diverse group of small to large-sized vespertilionid
bats that present a worldwide distribution. Twelve South American species are currently
recognized. In this paper we evaluate the morphological and morphometric variation observed in South
American populations of the most widespread species, Myotis nigricans. Against this background, two
forms can be morphologically distinguished from M. nigricans and other known South American species.
We describe these new species, documenting their diagnostic external and cranial characters by comparing
them to other sympatric and cryptic species of South American Myotis. In addition, we provide an
emended diagnosis of Myotis nigricans. | pt_BR |
