First record of the vulnerable bat Furipterus horrens (Cuvier, 1828) (Chiroptera: Furipteridae) in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil

Abstract

We report the first record of Furipterus horrens (Cuvier, 1828) in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil. A male specimen was captured using a harp trap in the entrance of a cave in the Parque Municipal Gruta do Bacaetava. The morphometric data and morphological characters of the specimen are within the known range documented for this species. This new record fills a gap in the known distribution of F. horrens and provides potentially valuable information that can be used to plan conservation measures.
