Bats of the Mexican State of Guerrero

Abstract
Recent developments in the study of rabies in bats have generated considerable interest in the distribution of bats in Mexico. Consequently, it seems desirable to bring together data we have accumulated through field studies in Guerrero in 1952–54 and 1956 and by a survey of the published literature. In all, we have records for Guerrero of 29 species of bats representing 7 families as follows: Emballonuridae, 2; Noctilionidae, 1; Phyllostomidae, 18; Desmodontidae, 1; Natalidae, 1; Vespertilionidae, 4; Molossidae, 2. The preponderance of Neotropical species is clearly indicated by the tabulation.
