Abstract

A new species of Chiroderma Peters, 1860 (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) from the State of Piaui in Northeastern Brazil is described based on mensural analysis. morphological data and geographical distribution. It is most similar morphologically to C. doriae Thomas, 1891 but differentiated by a smaller body size and by differences in cranial traits. In comparison to other members of the genus. the new species can be distinguished by a combination of characters. including size of the body, conspicuousness of facial and median dorsal stripes. ear length. and variation in cranial and dentition traits.
