Abstract

Standard karyotypic data are presented for 28 species involving 98 specimens. The karyotype of Micronycteris sylvestris, M. daviesi, Phyllostomus latifolius, and Tonatia schulzi are reported for the first time. Chromosomal variation is described for Rhinophylla pumilio and Rhogeessa tumida. Karyotypes for the other species examined were like those previously described in the literature.
