Distributional and biological data for some bat species in South America are scarce, mainly in non-phyllostomid bats. Herein we provide new records of two rare species of aerial insectivore bats for southeastern Brazil, Histiotus montanus and Molossops neglectus. In addition, we report facial morphological variation in color and new records of ectoparasites for H. montanus. For M. neglectus we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to check for morphometric variation based on forearm and skull dimensions, the southerly distributed specimens showing slightly smaller measurements than the northern ones.
Datos sobre biología y distribución para algunas especies de murciélagos in Suramérica son escasos, principalmente para grupos no filostómidos. Proporcionamos nuevos registros de dos especies raras de murciélagos insectívoros para el sureste de Brasil, Histiotus montanus y Molossops neglectus. En adición, reportamos la variación de colores faciales y nuevos registros de ectoparásitos en Histiotus montanus. Para M. neglectus se aplicó un Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP) para probar variación morfométrica con base en dimensiones craneales y de antebrazo, demostrando que las muestras del sur de la distribución tuvieron menores medidas que las del norte.
