EMBALLONURIDAE

We captured 10 emballonurid species at Paracou, three of which are here reported for the first time from French Guiana. The spe­cies we identified from morphological voucher material represent the genera Cen­tronycteris, Cormura, Diclidurus, Peropteryx (including Peronymus), Rhynchonycteris, and Saccopteryx . Published records from elsewhere in French Guiana and Surinam in­clude another four emballonurid species that might also occur in our study area (appendix 1).
