Abstract

We report the first record of Phylloderma stenops in the province of Guayas, Ecuador. The specimen was captured in a heavily disturbed area, surrounded by small remnants of semi-deciduous lowland forests. We also present a predictive distribution map, constructed with the new and existing information for P. stenops in Ecuador and other countries in South America, showing that this species may occur in other areas where it has not yet been observed.
