Bk. Lim et De. Wilson, TAXONOMIC STATUS OF ARTIBEUS-AMPLUS (CHIROPTERA, PHYLLOSTOMIDAE) IN NORTHERN SOUTH-AMERICA, Journal of mammalogy, 74(3), 1993, pp. 763-768
The recently described Artibeus amplus is easily confused with four ot
her large-sized Artibeus in northern South America. However, cranial m
orphometric analyses (sheared principal components analysis and discri
minant analysis) substantiate that A. amplus is distinct from its symp
atric congeners. The first distributional records from Guyana are repo
rted for this species and identification keys are presented.
