Lichonycteris obscura Thomas, 1895

Managua is the type locality of this rare long-nosed species and a
specimen was reported from 6 mi W Rama, 50 ft, Zelaya, by Davis _et
al._ (1964:380). Our collection contains three males, one from
Jalapa, 660 m, Nueva Segovia, captured on the night of 27 July 1967 as
it flew around a lighted room in a house, and two from the south side
of the Rio Mico, El Recreo, 25 m, Zelaya, taken on 26 and 27 July 1966
(one was netted and the other caught by hand in the lighted room of a
building at night).

Selected measurements of the three males are, respectively: total
length, 55, 58, 57 mm; length of tail, 7, 10, 9 mm; length of hind
foot, 7, 9, 9 mm; length of ear, 10, 11, 11 mm; length of forearm,
30.9, 31.0, 30.8 mm; weight, 6.8, 6.8, 6.2 gms; length of testes, 1, 2,
2 mm; greatest length of skull, 18.5, 18.0, 17.9 mm; breadth of
braincase, 8.1, 8.4, 8.3 mm; length of maxillary toothrow, 5.7, 5.5,
5.7 mm.

Bats of this species apparently are common in the Caribbean lowlands
of Nicaragua; the highest altitude at which we have taken specimens is
660 meters. The only previous report of _C. castanea_ from Nicaragua
evidently is that of Davis _et al._ (1964:379), who mentioned it in
passing (from Cacao, Zelaya) in an account of _Macrophyllum
macrophyllum_. Two adult females each carried an embryo having
crown-rump lengths of 20 (21 March) and 10 mm (27 July). Adult females
evincing no gross reproductive activity were taken in February (one),
March (one), April (four), June (three), July (two), and August (two).
Four adult males netted on 24 April had testes with an average length
of 7.0 (5-9) mm, whereas those of four other adult males taken in late
June had an average of 4.0 (2-6) mm.

In our collections from Nicaragua, we find at least three kinds of
_Carollia_ and we follow Handley (1966b:764-765) in tentatively
assigning these to _C. castanea_, _C. subrufa_, and _C. perspicillata_.
The systematics of this genus is currently under study by Ronald H.
Pine. In Nicaragua, _castanea_ differ
