The Smoky Bat, Amorphochilus schnablii, is a poorly known furipterid bat species endemic to the west coast of Ecuador, Peru, and the extreme north of Chile. The occurrence of this species in Chile has been limited to a single report from the year 1950, in the locality of Cuya in the Camarones valley, Arica, and Parinacota region. Based on acoustic surveys, we report here a new record of A. schnablii for the Camarones valley filling a gap of 71 years with no records. We also present a description of its echolocation calls.
El murciélago ahumado, Amorphochilus schnablii, es una especie de murciélago furiptérido poco conocida, endémica de la costa oeste de Ecuador, Perú y el extremo norte de Chile. La ocurrencia de esta especie en Chile se ha limitado a un solo reporte del año 1950, en la localidad de Cuya, en el valle de Camarones, región de Arica y Parinacota. Basado en muestreos acústicos, reportamos un nuevo registro de A. schnablii para el valle de Camarones, llenando una brecha de 71 años sin datos. Presentamos además una descripción de sus llamadas de ecolocalización.
