Chiroderma vizottoi is a species of insectivorous bat found in the northeast of Brazil.
Taxonomy
The species was described by V. A. Taddei and B. K. Lim in a study published in 2010, identifying specimens previously deposited at a research institution that were recognised as the sixth extant species of the genus. The collection date of the holotype is unknown, paratypes were collected in 1977 and 2000.[2] The authors distinguished the new taxon by morphological characteristics, cranial features and dentition, and by speciation that emerged through geographical isolation.[1]
Description
A mid-sized species of Chiroderma, a genus of Phyllostomidae known as the big-eyed bats, most closely resembling the species Chiroderma doriae found across eastern and central Brazil. The ventral side of the pelage is slightly paler than the back, a light brown to grey colour. The face bears distinctive striped markings. The fur at the top of the head is white, as is a midline stripe that extends from the shoulder to legs.[1]
Distribution and habitat
Chiroderma vizottoi was thought to be restricted to locations at the northeastern state of Piauí in Brazil,[1] but found to also occur at Ceará in the Caatinga ecoregion.[2] The species does not overlap with others of the genus, three of which also occur in nearby regions.[1]
The conservation status of the species has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List, and is unlisted in Brazil's national registers of protected species.[3]
