[2] Holotype of _Sturnira ludovici ludovici_ (measurements after Anthony, 1924:9). Other specimens of _S. l. occidentalis_ were taken under the following circumstances: 17 km. SE Talpa, Jalisco (night of November 3-4, 1962)--nine individuals netted over the Rio Mascota in "pine-oak zone" along with representatives of _S. l. parvidens_, _Artibeus toltecus_, _Chiroderma salvini_, _Eptesicus fuscus miradorensis_, _Lasiurus borealis teliotis_, and _Rhogeessa gracilis_; 20 km. WNW Purificacion, Jalisco (night of November 20-21, 1962)--two specimens captured in a mist net stretched beneath branches of a fig tree at the edge of the Rio Jicote in which _Glossophaga commissarisi_, _S. l. parvidens_, _Artibeus turpis nanus_, and _Artibeus lituratus palmarum_ also were taken; 4 km. N Durazno, Jalisco (nights of November 21-22 and 22-23, 1961)--11 specimens, of which 10 were females, netted in company with _G. s. leachii_, _S. l. parvidens_, _A. j. jamaicensis_, _A. toltecus_, _Centurio senex_, and _L. b. teliotis_ over a stream in a small canyon that supported "fairly dense stands of very tall deciduous trees." Five of the 10 females from 4 km. N Durazno were pregnant; each contained a single embryo. Crown-rump length of the embryos averaged 26.8 (24-30) mm. No gross reproductive activity was evident in other females of _S. l. occidentalis_ collected. [Illustration: FIG. 1. Distribution of _Sturnira ludovici_ in North America. 1. _S. l. ludovici._ 2. _S. l. occidentalis._] _Specimens examined._--A total of 26, arranged from north to south, as follows: DURANGO: 1/2 mi. W Revolcaderos, 6600 ft., 2 (MSU); 6 mi. S Pueblo Nuevo, 3000 ft., 1 (MSU). SINALOA: Plumosas, 2500 ft., 1 (the holotype). JALISCO: 17 km. SE Talpa, 5200 ft., 9; 20 km.

Specimens of _S. l. ludovici_ used in comparisons included a paratype (AMNH) from near Gualea, Ecuador, a specimen from Mindo, Ecuador, two specimens from La Cruz Grande, La Paz, Honduras (AMNH--paratypes of "_Sturnira hondurensis_"), and the following from Mexico: 10 mi.
