Phyllostomus
Oct. 23, 5 km. N. Villavicieja, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A.
Took one (#/439) from arboreal termite
nest on overhanging limb in quebrada
running S. of camp, about midway
between camp and the Magdalena
River. The trees in this area form
a nearly complete arch over the
stream bed. The termite nest is
a large (18" diam x 30" long), mass sitting
on a 3" limb overhanging the stream bed.
It is about 20 ft. off the ground.
I could see the 3"-4" diam. opening to
a cavity on its underside, and a
.22 shot shell fired into it brought
out the bat (dead).
