Abstract

We present here the first record of the velvety fruit-eating bat (Enchistenes hartii; Phyllostomidae) for the state of Morelos, Mexico. Our record gives more insight into the range of the species in Mexico, extending it ca. 52 km into central Mexico, east of the closest reported locality, Malinaltenango, in the state of México. We provide external and cranial measurements of one individual, and information about the habitat where it was captured and other species of bats recorded at the same locality.
