Rio San Miguel, 13°25' N, Dept, San Miguel

Saccoteryx
Two-lined Bat-
While hunting along an old dry lagoon with dense colol palm thickets on either side, a little two-lined bat flushed from the side of the trail and zigzagged off through the palms. On examining the place closer I discovered a hollow tree or stump and killed No. 11108 while another escaped as the first had done.
I frequently saw these little bats along this old dry lagoon trail, even during the middle of the day they would flush from the palms. I saw many Two-lined Bats in large hollow tree in the dense colol palms but was unable to get the ones shot since they fell down into the hollow.
There were many mosquitos here and they didn't wait until night fall before to feed. No. 11111 was shot by one of our men in dense jungle.
