Expansion of the known range of the Lesser Bulldog Bat, Noctilio albiventris Desmarest, 1818 (Chiroptera, Noctilionidae) in the Brazilian Cerrado

The Lesser Bulldog Bat, Noctilio albiventris, is found in all major Brazilian phytogeographic domains. We extend the known distribution of this species in the Cerrado, where 3 specimens were collected in the municipality of Caxias, which is within the Cerrado domain of the state of Maranh&at...
