Sturnira tildae de la Torre, 1959 VOUCHER MATERIAL: Tingana: 1 adult male (MUSM 39235); Waqanki: 2 adult females (FMNH 203418; MUSM 39234), 4 adult males (FMNH 203592; MUSM 39231–39233); see table 15 for measurements. IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of Sturnira tildae provided by de la Torre (1959), Goodwin and Greenhall (1961), Hill (1964), Marinkelle and Cadena (1971), Husson (1978), Genoways and Williams (1979), Swanepoel and Genoways (1979), Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990), Anderson (1997), Simmons and Voss (1998), and Lim et al. (2005). No subspecies are currently recognized in S. tildae (Gardner, 2008e). Our specimens conform in all respects to previous descriptions of S. tildae and exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: medium size (FA 43–51 mm, GLS 24–26 mm); shoulder glands (epaulettes) present and well defined; metacarpal III shorter than metacarpal V; tips of inner upper incisors broad and weakly bicuspidate with lobes of equal size; metaconids and entoconids of m1, m2, and m3 well defined and separated by a notch; and paraconulids not present on m1 and m2 (Gardner, 2008e). Measurements of our specimens fall within the range of measurements previously reported for the species.
