Although Colombia holds a high richness of Chiroptera, many taxa and geographic areas remain unexplored. In this study, we confirm the presence of Anoura cadenai and Sturnira giannae in new geographical regions and update the information about its distribution in the country. Through the review of field-collected individuals and specimens deposited in the Mammal Collection of the C. J. Marinkelle Natural History Museum (ANDES-M), we evaluated the concordance and variations of several external and craniodental traits with respect to the original descriptions. The records of A. cadenai on the eastern mountain range showed a distributional extension from the western and central mountain ranges. Sturnira giannae is widely distributed along the eastern mountain range, the inter-Andean valley of the Magdalena River, and the western mountain range’s western slope. Unlike the original descriptions of both bat species, we found our specimens had smaller external and craniodental sizes. This is the first report of Anoura cadenai in the Eastern Mountain Range and in sympatry with A. latidens. Regarding S. giannae, we report its occurrence in the inter-Andean valley of the Magdalena River and reaching the western slope of the Western Mountain Range. This broadens the previously suggested distribution up to the eastern slopes of the Andes. More extensive specimen reviews in biological collections could provide new information about the distribution of these species in Colombia.

Aunque Colombia alberga una gran riqueza de especies de murciélagos, muchos taxa y áreas geográficas permanecen poco exploradas. En este trabajo confirmamos la presencia de Anoura cadenai y Sturnira giannae en nuevas regiones geográficas y actualizamos la información sobre su distribución en el país. A partir de la revisión de individuos recolectados en campo y de especímenes depositados en la Colección de Mamíferos del Museo de Historia Natural C. J. Marinkelle (ANDES-M), evaluamos la concordancia y la variación de caracteres externos y craneodentales con respecto a las descripciones originales. Los registros de A. cadenai en la cordillera oriental constituyen una extensión de distribución desde las Cordillera Occidental y Central. Sturnira giannae, es una especie con amplia distribución en Colombia a lo largo de la Cordillera Oriental, el valle del río Magdalena, y sobre la vertiente occidental de la Cordillera Occidental. En comparación con las descripciones originales de ambas especies, encontramos variaciones morfológicas que comprenden menores tamaños en rasgos externos y craneodentales. Este es el primer reporte de A. cadenai en la Cordillera Oriental y en simpatría con A. latidens. En cuanto a S. giannae, reportamos su ocurrencia en el valle del río Magdalena y hasta la vertiente occidental de la Cordillera Occidental, lo que amplía el rango de distribución previamente sugerido hasta la vertiente oriental de los Andes. Revisiones más extensas en colecciones biológicas podrían aportar nueva información acerca de la distribución de estas especies en Colombia.

Anoura cadenai Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006 is a nectarivorous bat species endemic to Colombia. It was described from an adult male collected near the Rio Bravo at 1,000 m in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. At the type locality, A. cadenai is sympatric with A. caudifer, and A. cultrata, but can be distinguished by some characteristics: the larger size, and upper canines with a longitudinal sulcus of A. cadenai compared with A. caudifer, while is considerably smaller, with a less robust skull, and smaller upper canines compared with A. cultrata (Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006).
While A. cadenai was thought to occur along the western slope of the southwestern Colombian Andes in an altitudinal range between 800 and 1,400 m (Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006), other specimens have been reported from Nariño, Putumayo, Huila, and the central mountain range in Risaralda and Antioquia, which corresponds to its northernmost record (Figure 1a; Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006; Calderón Leytón et al.1; ; ; ; ).
Sturnira giannae Velazco and Patterson 2019 is mostly a frugivorous bat species from the humid forests of Amazonia and the lowlands of the Orinoquia region, occupying a wide variety of forests, including primary and secondary forests below 2,000 m (Burneo 2021). The species was described from an adult male collected near Sinnamary, Cayenne, French Guiana, at 210 m, and can be distinguished from other sympatric species (S. magna, S. oporaphilum, S. sorianoi, and S. tildae) from its external and craniodental characteristics. Some of these are: all overlap somewhat in size but are distinguished by pelage and craniodental characteristics (Tables 15 and 17 in Velazco and Patterson 2019); the dorsal fur between the shoulders of S. giannae is short (5.0–6.0 mm) whereas it is long (> 8 mm) in S. magna, S. sorianoi, S. oporaphilum, and S. tildae; dorsal hairs are bicolored in S. giannae whereas they are 4-colored in S. magna, S. sorianoi, S. oporaphilum, and S. tildae; ventrally the hairs are short (3–5 mm) and monocolored in S. giannae and S. tildae, whereas they are long (6–8 mm) and tricolored in S. sorianoi, and S. oporaphilum, and short (3–5 mm) and 4-colored in S. magna; the ventral fur is pale brown to reddish brown in S. giannae, whereas is pale brown in S. magna, S. sorianoi, S. oporaphilum, and S. tildae; the metaconids and entoconids of m1 and m2 are well defined and separated by a deep notch in S. giannae, whereas they are well defined but separated by a shallow notch in S. tildae, and poorly defined and not separated by a notch in S. magna, S. oporaphilum, and S. sorianoi; the anterior process of the glenoid fossa is well developed in S. giannae and S. magna, whereas it is weakly developed in S. sorianoi, and S. tildae (some specimens of S. oporaphilum lack the anterior process of the glenoid fossa while in others it is weakly developed); the I1 is slender in S. giannae, and broad in S. oporaphilum, S. sorianoi, S. tildae, and S. magna (Velazco and Patterson 2019).
Although the S. giannae description mentioned its distribution range from “eastern slopes of the Andes and adjacent Amazonian lowlands from Colombia to northern Bolivia”, it did not include Colombian records (Velazco and Patterson 2019). However, several specimens have been recorded from Arauca, Caquetá, Putumayo, Risaralda, Santander, and Tolima (Figure 1b; Morales Martinez and Díaz 2020; García-Herrera et al. 2021; Niño Reyes and Corral Gómez 2022; Ramírez-Chaves et al. 2022). In this note, we update the distribution of the bat species A. cadenai and S. giannae in Colombia and compare morphological characters to earlier descriptions.
Field sampling was conducted out in 2019 in the Municipality of La Mesa, Cundinamarca, during a study about vector-borne and zoonotic diseases (Carrasquilla et al. 2023). We used 3 mist nets (12 m x 3 m) for 5 nights from 18:00 hr to midnight. We captured 1 adult female of A. cadenai on 31 July (4° 38' 33.36'' N, 74° 27' 0.72'' W, 1,271 m; Figure 1a; Appendix 1), and 1 adult male of S. giannae on 20 May (4° 38' 54.20'' N, 74° 31' 10.67'' W, 637 m; Figure 1b; Appendix 2). The individuals were collected following the procedure described by Carrasquilla et al. (2023), prepared as dry skin and skull removed and deposited in the Mammal Collection of the C. J. Marinkelle Natural History Museum of the Universidad de los Andes (ANDES-M). The research project was approved by the Ethics Committee from Universidad de los Andes No. 839–2018, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee from Universidad de los Andes CICUAL (FUA 18–006), and the National Environmental Licensing Authority of Colombia (ANLA; Permits No. P06249S3811_N0001, P06249S4071_N0002).
We found 3 additional specimens of S. giannae in the ANDES-M collection, 1 adult female from Cundinamarca, recently cataloged as Sturnira sp., preserved in dry skin and with the skull removed (ANDES-M 2703), and 2 formerly identified as S. lilium: 1 adult male from Santander, dry skin and skull removed (ANDES-M 1869), and 1 adult female from Santander, preserved in alcohol with the skull removed (ANDES-M 2429; Appendix 2).
All specimens were identified based on the cranial, dental, and external morphological diagnostic characters following Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006), Gardner (2007), Velazco and Patterson (2019), and Díaz et al. (2021). Lineal measurements were taken directly from the specimens (Table 2). External and craniodental measurements were taken using a caliper (to the nearest 0.05 mm) following Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006) for A. cadenai, and Velazco and Paterson (2019) for S. giannae. The lineal measurements are listed in Tables 1 and 2. To evaluate the concordance of our specimens' measurements with the original descriptions, we have considered that a deviation of more than 1 mm with respect to the average of the type series is a different value. Finally, to map the species occurrences in Colombia, we accessed previous records of preserved specimens of A. cadenai and S. giannae in Colombia through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (Calderón Leytón et al. 2021; Pérez Torres et al. 2021; Rodriguez-Bolaños and Solórzano 2021; Ruano Meneses et al. 2021; Niño Reyes and Corral Gómez 2022; Ramírez-Chaves et al. 2022; Rueda Isaza et al. 2022).
Anoura cadenai Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006: specimen ANDES-M 2591 was captured and collected along with individuals of the species Anoura latidens Handley 1984, Artibeus lituratus (Olfers 1818), Carollia castanea Allen 1890, Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus 1758), and Glossophaga soricina (Pallas 1766). The specimen is an adult female with the craniodental and external morphological characters reported by Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006): a) coloration blackish brown-3 and black throughout the body; b) individual dorsal hairs pale grayish on basal two thirds, brown tips; c) those hairs of underparts black to base; d) pelage short and crisp; e) interfemoral membrane narrow with some hairs and external tail non visible; f) braincase tapered anteriorly with broad and heavy rostrum and zygomatic complete but slender (broken in most specimens); g) braincase raising smoothly; h) broad and rounded occipital region; i) outer upper incisor enlarged; j) upper canine enlarged and projected, roughly triangular in cross-section at the base, with distinct anterointernal, anteroexternal, and posterior basal cusps; and k) internal face anteroposteriorly concave, and anterior face flat, with a longitudinal sulcus from the base of the crown to near tip that resembles the sulcus of canines of A. cultrata but less prominent.
The external and craniodental measurements match with those reported for the type series by Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006) and with mean values for the species by Calderón-Acevedo and Muchhala (2018). However, we found the following morphological variation: smaller total length, ear length, third digit metacarpal length, and calcar length, as well as the smaller greatest skull and palatal length (Table 1).
Sturnira giannae Velazco and Patterson 2019: specimen ANDES-M 2557 was captured and collected along with individuals of Artibeus lituratus, and Carollia perspicillata. The individual was an adult male that coincides with the craniodental and external morphological characters reported by Velazco and Patterson (2019), as well as specimens ANDES-M 1869, ANDES-M 2429, and ANDES-M 2703: a) medium-sized yellow-shouldered bat; b) a slender rostrum and a globular braincase; c) dorsal pelage brown to reddish brown, dorsal hairs bicolored with a long and pale brown base (approx. 80 % of the length of each hair), and a short dark-brown terminal band (approx. 20 % of each hair); d) ventral pelage brown to reddish brown, and ventral hairs monocolored that vary from gray to pale brown; e) fur long 5-6 mm between the shoulders and 4 mm on the chest; f) the trailing edge of the uropatagium was covered by short hairs (5.0 mm); g) the proximal portion of the forearm is densely furred with short hairs; h) the dorsal surfaces of the tibia and feet were sparsely covered with long hairs; i) the III and IV metacarpals are subequal in length but shorter than the V metacarpal; j) the basisphenoids pits are divided by a narrow midline septum; and k) sphenorbital fissure oval (in ANDES-M 2557) or circular (in ANDES-M 1869, ANDES-M 2429, and ANDES-M 2703).
All revised specimens showed some morphological variations compared with the mean measurements reported by Velazco and Patterson (2019) which include: ANDES-M 2557 had less weight and a smaller total length, smaller ear length, and smaller forearm length; ANDES-M 1869 had less weight, smaller ear length, and smaller forearm length; ANDES-M 2429 had smaller total, hind-foot, ear, and forearm length, as well as the smaller condyloincisive and condylocanine length; and ANDES-M 2703 had a smaller total, ear, and forearm length, as well as the smaller condyloincisive length and mastoid breadth (Table 2).
Anoura cadenai has been recorded mainly in the south of the Andes Mountain range in Colombia, with some reports on the western slope of the western mountain range and north of the central mountain range. Our Cundinamarca record confirms the species’ presence in the eastern mountain range (Figure 1a). This specimen was found in sympatry with A. latidens, adding to other reports of sympatry with A. caudifer and A. cultrata at the type locality (Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006). The main characteristics that distinguished both species were the forearm size (> 40 mm in A. latidens), and the narrow, semicircular, and visible uropatagium of A. cadenai compared to the reduced and barely visible uropatagium of A. latidens. Concerning the altitudinal distribution of A. cadenai, the information we gathered suggests elevations between 1,000 m in the type locality, and 2,900 m in El Tambo, Nariño (Appendix 1), which expands on the information provided by Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006). Morphologically, this female seems smaller in some external and craniodental characters compared to the type series (Mantilla-Meluk and Baker 2006) and to the mean values reported for the species (Calderón-Acevedo and Muchhala 2018). However, it is important to note that all the specimens in the type series correspond to male individuals.
Regarding S. giannae, previous records in collections and literature, as well as the new records presented here, coincide with the original distribution (eastern slopes of the Andes and adjacent Amazonian lowlands; Velazco and Patterson 2019), but adding localities from the inter-Andean valley of the Magdalena River, and on the western slope of the western mountain range (Figure 1b). These records suggest an altitudinal range in Colombia between 78 m in the Middle Magdalena Valley, and 980 m in Medina, Cundinamarca (Appendix 2) that extends 132 m the lower altitudinal limit reported for the species by Velazco and Patterson (2019). The reviewed specimens are smaller in some external and craniodental characters, compared to the description by Velazco and Patterson (2019). They also differ in the state of some characters, such as a) the proximal portion of the forearm not densely furred with short hairs in ANDES-M 1869 and ANDES-M 2429; b) a low sagittal crest (not “well-developed”) in ANDES-M 2557; and c) the upper central incisor is slightly bilobed in ANDES-M 2429 and not bilobed in ANDES-M 1869 and ANDES-M 2703 (Figure 2). However, it should be noted that Velazco and Patterson (2019) mentioned that the cusps are "noticeable only in younger individuals without pronounced tooth wear". Morphological variations in shape and size have also been reported in populations of S. giannae in Perú by Olaya-Orihuela (2021) and could correspond to geographic variations promoted by environmental and spatial differences (Morales et al. 2018).
