Venter is pure white, extending onto throat and chin. Individual hairs of dorsum are bicolored, with large white bases that make up more than one-half the hair length, followed by brown tips. Rostrum and lips are relatively less hairy that brown head. Pair of dermal pads is arranged in V-shaped pattern on chin. Ears are round and large, united by deeply notched band ofskin. Noseleafis pale brown, with base of horseshoe free and delimited by thick ridge. Wing membranes and uropatagium are blackish. Uropatagium is relatively long and naked. Calcar is similar in size to foot. Tail perforates uropatagium dorsally. Skull has short rostrum, less than one-half the length of braincase. Lateral profile of skull is less concave than in the Tiny Big-eared Bat (M. minuta). Palate is relatively short and broad and V-shaped posteriorly. Mandibular condyle is placed above tooth row and has well-developed angular process. P? is much smaller than P *, M' and M? are dilambdodont, and P, is much smaller than P, and P .. Chromosomal complement has 2 n = 28 and FN = 50, with five pairs of metacentric, seven submetacentric, and small pair of telocentric autosomes and submetacentric X-chromosome. Y-chromosome is unknown.","source":"Phyllostomidae","sourceTaxonKey":196400402},{"key":463523055,"taxonKey":4265445,"type":"discussion","language":"eng","description":"Former records of M. sanborni from eastern Bolivia now represent a new species, M. yatesi.

Micronycteris sanborni is endemic to the Cerrado and the Caatinga, and has been recorded in the Brazilian states of Ceara, Minas Gerais, Paraiba, Piaui, Pernambuco, and Tocantins (Simmons 1996, Gregorin et al. 2008, Cunha et al. 2009, Feijo et al. 2010, 2015 b, Nogueira et al. 2015, Silva et al. 2015). An alleged record of the species for the Amazon biome has been recently published (Lopez-Baucells et al. 2013), but no voucher specimen supports this claim and the individual that forms the basis of this record lacked the pure white ventral pelage coloration that seems to be characteristic of Micronycteris sanborni (see Simmons 1996, Feijo et al. 2015 b). Applying Hitchens' razor, we dismiss the alleged record for the Amazon biome (contra Lopez-Baucells et al. 2013), a view we share with other authors (see Nogueira et al. 2014 b, Feijo et al. 2015 b). In addition, as noted by Feijo et al. (2015 b), alleged records from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul need to be confirmed. One of the two specimens that formed the basis of these records (see Santos et al. 2010) lacks the pure white ventral pelage coloration typical of confirmed vouchers of Micronycteris sanborni (see above) - and according to Siles et al. (2013) it might actually correspond to Micronycteris yatesi. No information about the morphology of the other specimen has been published (see Cunha et al. 2009).","source":"The mammalian faunas endemic to the Cerrado and the Caatinga","sourceTaxonKey":127864382}]}
