| Abstract | Phylogenetic relationships of New World leafnosed bats of the genus Sturnira were analyzed using allozymic and morphological characters. Seven species of Sturnira were included in the genetic analyses, and 14 species were included in the morphological survey. Genetic analyses of the monophyly and intergeneric relationships of Sturnira utilized a variety of taxa to root trees at different stages of the analysis, including Sturnira bidens, S. nana, Vampyrops dorsalis, Uroderma bilobatum, Carollia perspicillata, Glossophaga soricina, Desmodus rotundus, and Micronycteris megalotis, all from the family Phyllostomidae. Sturnira proved to be more closely related to Uroderma bilobatum and Vampyrops dorsalis than to Carollia perspicillata or Glossophaga soricina. These results confirm its current placement with the Stenodermatinae rather than with the Carolliinae or Glossophaginae. The monophyly of Sturnira was substantiated, and the subgenus Corvira was found to be distinct both genetically and morphologically. Consensus between genetic and morphological analyses further reveals at least two lineages within the subgenus Sturnira, the first comprising S. tildae, S. lilium, S. luisi, and S. thomasi, and the second S. magna and S. erythromos. Additional materials and analyses will be needed to resolve the positions of other species in the genus. |
