Morphological characters used to separate the frugivorous bat  Platyrrhinus recifinus  from the similar  Platyrrhinus lineatus  have been contentious. This has led to uncertainties about the distribution of the species, that was once considered an Atlantic Forest endemic. Based on an analysis of a large and geographically restricted series of  P. recifinus , we assessed the individual variation in the species and provide useful characters to separate it from  P. lineatus . We reviewed the locality records of  P. recifinus , and carried out an ecological niche model analysis in order to update the species polygon and calculate its area of habitat. After removing misidentifications, we found that the species occurs in moist forests from sea level to 1653 m. The area of suitable habitat estimated for the species was 402,225.2 Km 2 , ranging from the Brazilian states of Ceará to Santa Catarina. Both empirical records and ecological niche model analyses reinforce that  P. recifinus  should be considered an Atlantic Forest endemic. The species is present in moist forest enclaves in the Caatinga, but these formations are part of the Atlantic Forest domain.

studies on neotropical fauna and environment

Distribution, habitat suitability, and revised morphological diagnosis confirm that the fruit bat  Platyrrhinus recifinus  is an Atlantic Forest endemic
