This bat has been accorded a range as a species from Paraguay, 

 where it was observed by Azara, north to Mexico. It is one of the 

 rarer ones in collections, and the only record from Panama is that of

Subfamily STENODERMINAE 

 Genus URODERMA Peters 

 In general appearance, including the arrangement of the white 

 facial and dorsal stripes, Uroderma much resembles Vampyrops, 

 Vampyrodes and Chiroderma. In these genera a pair of white 

 stripes extend upward from the sides of the nose leaf to the inner 

 base of the ears ; another pair less distinct reaches from the corners 

 of the mouth toward the ears, and a median dorsal line is usually 

 prominent. But the single species of Uroderma may be distinguished 

 by the naked or minutely haired posterior margin of the interfemoral 

 membrane in combination with the length of the forearm (about 

 45 millimeters). The skull is very similar in general to that of 

 Vampyrops, but is easily recognizable by the bifid upper incisors. 

 The teeth are 32 in number.
