✦ Synopsis

Cyttarops alecto is a rare bat, poorly recorded along its distributional range. In this paper, we report the fi rst record of C. alecto for the western Brazilian Amazon, provide information on distribution and morphological variation of the species along with taxonomic comments based on comparisons of our specimen with the previous information reported in the literature, and we reinterpret the precise type locality for the species.
