STEVEN M. GOODMAN,1,2 SCOTT G. CARDIFF,3 JULIE RANIVO,4 AMY L. RUSSELL,5 AND ANNE D. YODER6

ABSTRACT We describe a new species of in the genus Emballonura (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae), E. tiavato, from the dry forest regions of Madagascar. This species is distinguished from the only other member of this genus found on the island, E. atrata, and extralimital species based on a variety of external and cranial characteristics. Details of the distribution, phylogeny, and natural history of the two species of Malagasy Emballonura are presented.

E. atrata, which is endemic to millimeters from captured individuals before Madagascar, is previously recorded from very preparation. These included: total length, tail few sites and less than 30 specimens—nearly length, hind foot length (not including claw), one-half of these are fluid preserved or dried ear length, and forearm length. Further, we mummies with unextracted skulls. Thus, to measured body mass in grams using a spring date, insufficient material has been available balance. For certain specimens, obtained by to examine patterns of geographic variation in other collectors, measurement data were noted this species. directly from labels or field catalogs held in Over the past decade we have conducted bat various museums. There are considerable surveys on Madagascar, particularly in the dry differences among field collectors in the western portion of the island. During the techniques that they use to measure ; course of these inventories we have captured most notable in this regard for emballonurids individuals of Emballonura at several sites, is rather inconsistent methods for total length, and, based on this new material, we are able to tail, and hind foot measurements. When assess and quantify variation on a geographic tabulating descriptive statistics of external level in members of this genus across much of measurements, we have in some cases only the island. Contrary to early interpretations, used those of a single collector—although this Emballonura on Madagascar is widespread, reduces sample size, it also decreases the range rather than being restricted to the humid and variance of external measurements.

ATRATA Descriptive statistics presented as mean 6 standard deviation (minimum – maximum, N). Samples measured by a single field collector are in bold. Separate t-test statistical comparisons of measurements of E. tiavato and E. atrata were conducted to examine differences between the sexes: *P , 0.05, **P , 0.01, ***P , 0.001. Descriptive statistics of external measurements presented in bold were made by the same field collector (SMG). To examine differences in external measurements made in the field, including forearm, between these two species of Emballonura, we used the Ankarana (OTU 1) and Midongy du Sud (subset of OTU 2) samples, which were measured by the same field collector and t-test statistical comparisons of measurements (sexes combined for each species), while those of weight, different wing bones, tibia, and calcar we used combined OTUs 1, 3, and 4 compared to OTU 2—in both cases sexes combined: +P , 0.05, ++ P , 0.01, +++ P , 0.001, ++++ P , 0.0001.
