ACCOUNTS OF SPECIES Saccopteryx leptura (Schreber, 1774) Two specimens from El Paraiso, 1 km N Cosigueina, 20 m, Chinandega, on the Cosigueina Peninsula, provide the fourth locality of record for this white-lined bat in Nicaragua. Jones (1964a:506) and Davis _et al._ (1964:375) earlier reported a total of eight specimens from the departments of Managua and Zelaya. The species is known as far north in Middle America as Chiapas (Carter _et al._, 1966:489). Our two bats, both females, were shot on the evening of 1 March 1968 as they foraged around a yard light. One carried an embryo that measured 8 mm (crown-rump), whereas the other was reproductively inactive. Peropteryx macrotis macrotis (Wagner, 1843) Four females (one young and three adult) captured 5 km N and 9 k
