Abstract
New record of Promops centralis (Chiroptera:Molossidae) in south-eastern Ecuador
Abstract: Promops centralis (Chiroptera: Molossidae) is reported for the first time in south-eastern Ecuador, province of Morona Santiago. In 1998, an adult female was collected at Limón-Indanza. The specimen was donated to the mastozoology collection of the Museo de Zoología, Universidad del Azuay (MZUA) in 2016. The specimen was collected in secondary low montane forest on the eastearn subtropical zoogeographic region. This record is a new locality for P. centralis, extending the species known distribution in Ecuador and providing its highest elevation record.
Keywords. Amazonia, bat, distribution, elevation, montane forest, Morona-Santiago, new locality.
Resumen: Promops centralis (Chiroptera:Molossidae) es reportado por primera vez en el suroriente del Ecuador, provincia de Morona Santiago. En 1998, una hembra adulta fue colectada en la localidad de Limón-Indanza. El espécimen fue donado a la colección de mastozoología del Museo de Zoología de la Universidad del Azuay (MZUA) en 2016. El espécimen fue colectado en bosque montano bajo secundario en el piso zoogeográfico subtropical oriental. Este registro es una nueva localidad para P. centralis, que extiende la distribución conocida de la especie en Ecuador y provee la localidad de mayor elevación.
