FIRST RECORD OF COLORATION ABNORMALITY IN THE FUR OF PTERONOTUS FULVUS BAT (CHIROPTERA, MORMOOPIDAE).

Pigmentation abnormalities in fur or wings membranes have been reported in >100 bat species worldwide. In the case of the Mormoopidae family, abnormalities have been documented in Pteronotus mesoamericanus, Pteronotus quadridens, and Mormoops megalophylla. This work represents the first record of Pteronotus fulvus with a coloration pattern different from the one commonly reported in their entire range. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
