Distribution of Myotis lavali

Taxonomy

This species was described from the Myotis nigricans complex in 2011,[3] based on museum collections from 3 localities in northeastern Brazil. Later on, additional studies confirmed Myotis lavali as a species, and highlight the co-occurrence with M. nigricans in several locations.

Range and habitat

This species was recorded in the Brazilian states of Pernambuco, Bahia, Piauí, Ceará and the north-eastern and south-western parts of Paraguay. Specimens were observed in different ecosystems such as deciduous forests, Cerrado, Caatinga and Gran Chaco, up to 900 meters of altitude.
