Open-access Updated list of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, including new records

ABSTRACT

The knowledge of the bat fauna from Minas Gerais, the largest state in southeastern Brazil, has greatly changed in recent years due to increased sampling and taxonomic revisions with reports of range extension and/or new species descriptions. The first annotated list of bats for the state dates to over 10 years ago. Our study aimed to update it by incorporating new localities sampled since then and by adding new species records to the list. We also conducted a comprehensive review of the literature and museum databases and analyzed 691 specimens collected in the state from all mesoregions and ecosystems deposited in collections. We documented the occurrence of 99 bat species from nine families, distributed in 181 municipalities, covering all mesoregions and biomes of the state. This is an increment of 30% in bat richness and of 241% in locality sites with bat records in Minas Gerais, when compared with the previous compilation. We report two previously unrecorded species for the state, the phylostomids Rhinophylla pumilio Peters, 1865 and Trinycteris nicefori (Sanborn, 1949). The mesoregions with the largest number of bat collection localities were “Metropolitana” (46), “Zona da Mata” (26), and “Norte de Minas” (21). The Atlantic Forest had the largest number of collection sites compared to the other biomes present in the state (102). There are a lot of sampling gaps in the state, and most of the conservation areas have not yet been sampled for bats. In face of that and based on the recent findings of several new species and records as a result of sampling and revisionary efforts, we suggest the implementation of rapid survey programs accompanied by taxonomic studies within the conservation units of Minas Gerais. Long-term monitoring programs, including bats, are also completely missing in the state.

INTRODUCTION

Chiroptera is the second order of mammals in the number of species (Wilson and Mittermeier 2019), particularly speciose in the three megadiverse South American countries of Colombia (217 species; Ramírez-Chaves et al. 2021), Peru (191 species; Velazco 2021), and Brazil (181 species; Garbino et al. 2022). Despite the high diversity of bats already known to occur in Brazil, this is still underestimated, with numerous sampling gaps and under-sampled areas (Tavares et al. 1999, Bernard et al. 2011, Delgado-Jaramillo et al. 2020). The taxonomy of several taxa occurring in Brazil remains unresolved, as demonstrated by recent taxonomic revisions that revalidated, synonymized, or described new taxa distributed in the country (Velazco et al. 2014, Feijó et al. 2015, Moratelli and Dias 2015, Moras et al. 2016, Gregorin et al. 2016, Loureiro et al. 2018, 2020b, Garbino et al. 2020). Updating the national and state checklists of Brazil’s fauna and flora has become a critical activity, given that these lists play a pivotal role in conducting regular assessments of the regional and local conservation status of these taxa, employing IUCN criteria as a basis (COPAM 2010, MMA 2022, IUCN 2022).

With an area of 586,513 km2, Minas Gerais is the fourth largest state in Brazil and the largest in southeastern Brazil (IBGE 2022). Due to its latitudinal and altitudinal amplitude, Minas Gerais has great climatic and relief variations distributed in gradients. Most of Minas Gerais is covered by the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, with a small area comprising the semi-arid Caatinga biome in the north (IEF 2020). Within the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado, in addition to the expected phytophysiognomies such as grasslands, cerrado sensu stricto, evergreen, semi-deciduous, and deciduous forests, there are several associated ecosystems such as Campos Rupestres (rocky open highlands), moist formations in grassland known as “Veredas”, and karstic areas. Karstic areas and caves compose an essential part of the life cycle of several bat species (Torquetti et al. 2017). Frequently, the Cerrado, Caatinga, and Atlantic Forest are organized in spatial mosaics, creating a wide variety of micro-habitats that support distinct bat species within Minas Gerais (Tavares et al. 2010, Genelhú et al. 2022).

The earliest records of bats in Minas Gerais date from the first half of the 19th century, coinciding with the arrival of European naturalists and collectors (Vanzolini 2004). From 1836 to 1846, the Danish naturalist Peter Wilhelm Lund lived in the region of Lagoa Santa, in the center of eastern Minas Gerais, where he collected both fossil and recent mammal material. Lund documented approximately 150 species of recent mammals (Cartelle 2002). Throughout Lund’s stay, other European naturalists came to visit him and collect material. Based on material collected in Lagoa Santa, the German naturalist Carl Hermann Conrad Burmeister described the bat Dysopes temminckii = Molossops temminckii (Burmeister, 1854). Some species described by Lund are currently nomina nuda, such as Phyllostoma dorsale (= Chiroderma doriae Thomas, 1891) (Garbino et al. 2020). Noteworthy are also the travels of Prince Maximilian von Wied in southeastern and northeastern Brazil, including Minas Gerais. During his exploration, he documented various bat species from the adjacent states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro (Hershkovitz 1987). In the 20th century, Carlos O. da Cunha Vieira, in his monographic study of Brazilian bats, reported several new records from Minas Gerais during that time (Vieira 1942).

Pioneering scientific publications on the ecology of bats in Minas Gerais include early studies on pollination ecology conducted in the Serra do Cipó National Park, municipality of Jaboticatubas, center-eastern Minas Gerais (e.g., Sazima and Sazima 1975, Sazima et al. 1978). Studies of bats from the Serra do Cipó in the late 1970s led to the description of the globally threatened Lonchophylla bokermanni Sazima, Vizotto & Taddei, 1978 (Sazima et al. 1978, IUCN 2022). Glass and Encarnação (1982) made the first bat inventory in the western region of Minas Gerais, and since then a slow but steady increase in studies about the occurrence and distribution of bats in Minas Gerais can be observed (e.g., Stallings et al. 1990, Aguiar et al. 1995, Pedro and Taddei 1997, Tavares and Anciães 1998, Tavares et al. 1999, 2007, Stutz et al. 2004, Nobre et al. 2009, Moras et al. 2013, Novaes et al. 2014, Falcão et al. 2014, Loureiro and Gregorin 2015, Gregorin et al. 2017, Xavier et al. 2018 Dias-Silva et al. 2019, Laurindo et al. 2020, Genelhú et al. 2021, Genelhú et al. 2022).

The first comprehensive checklist of bats from the state documented by vouchered material was produced over a decade ago with a list of 77 species (Tavares et al. 2010). Since then, new localities have been sampled, yielding many new records, and there have been published descriptions of previously unrecognized taxa and taxonomic novelties resulted from revisionary work, suggesting that an updated list of bats from Minas Gerais state is warranted. We herein provide a revised list of bats of Minas Gerais with an update on the distribution of sampling localities by biomes and mesoregions of the state.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Dataset

We collected data from literature, museum specimens, and museum databases. We included original data from inventories independently conducted by us in the Minas Gerais state between 2011 and 2023.

Specimens analyzed

We analyzed 691 specimens (Appendix 1) housed in the folowing collections: Natural History Museum, London, UK (BMNH); Coleção de Mamíferos do Centro de Coleções Taxonômicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil (CCT-UFMG); Coleção de Mamíferos da Universidade Federal de Lavras, Lavras, Brazil (CMUFLA); Coleção de Mamíferos do Museu de Zoologia João Moojen, Viçosa, Brazil (MZUFV); Universidade Estadual Paulista, São José do Rio Preto, Brazil (DZSJRP-This collection is currently located in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo - MZUSP); Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada (ROM); and National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC, USA (USNM). We also obtained records from the online database of the Museu de Ciências Naturais, Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (MCN PUC-MG). The identification of the bats was based on the keys available in Gardner (2008) and on additional taxonomic literature (i.e., Wilson and Mittermeier 2019).

Literature review

We conducted searches for articles and books addressing the bat fauna from the state of Minas Gerais on Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com.br/?hl=pt), and Scielo (https://scielo.org/), using the following keywords: “morcegos”, “bats”, “Minas Gerais”, “new record”, “novo registro”, “quiróptero”, and “Chiroptera”, alone and in combinations.

Our starting point was the bat species list from Minas Gerais published by Tavares et al. (2010). We used the species names from that list and “Minas Gerais” as keywords to obtain new localities for the bat species recorded in the state. Subsequently, we conducted searches to obtain information on newly added species for the state using the keywords: “new record”, “novo registro”, “Minas Gerais”, “bat” and “morcegos”. From the new records obtained, we searched for new localities of them using the species name and “Minas Gerais”. The taxonomy and nomenclature followed Wilson and Mittermeier (2019) and Garbino et al. (2022), except for the Neotropical species of Eptesicus, currently allocated to the newly described genus Neoeptesicus (Cláudio et al. 2023).

We reanalyzed part of the museum material for the new occurrences after Tavares et al. (2010) that we were able to locate, and only records associated with a voucher were included in the list. The single exception was the inclusion of Pteronotus sp. based on a photographic record (Bruno and Falcão 2022). We have decided to consider this record at the generic level because there are two large species of Pteronotus in Brazil, and without a voucher, it is not possible to verify the cranial characters useful to distinguish both species.

Distribution of records

We used the software QGis Firenze 3.28.3 to create maps featuring all sampled localities across the state and heatmaps to visually represent bat richness. We grouped the localities around the nearest municipality to standardize the data distribution, and herein the localities mean municipalities. For the heatmap, we used the kernel density tool, which provides estimates of the intensity of bat occurrences by area value. Kernel density estimates have been used to access vertebrate distribution to identify, for example, diversity hotspots (Hassan et al. 2021). For the kernel density, we considered the richness per mesoregion inserting points equivalent to the richness in the centroid of each mesoregion. Then, we plotted the municipality records on the heatmap for better understanding of the results.

To build the protected areas map we used the database from IDE - Sisema available at https://idesisema.meioambiente.mg.gov.br/webgis.

RESULTS

We compiled evidence for the records of a total of 99 species belonging to 52 genera and nine families of bats in Minas Gerais (Table 1, Appendix 1). Compared to previous compilations (Tavares et al. 2010), we removed one species, Molossus currentium (Temminck, 1838), and added a total of 23 newly recorded species to the list of Minas Gerais, including the first records of Rhinophylla pumilio Peters, 1865 and Trinycteris nicefori (Sanborn, 1949) for the state and two recently described species, Eumops chimaera Gregorin et al., 2016 and Thyroptera wynneae Velazco, Gregorin, Voss & Simmons, 2014. In addition, four species had their scientific names changed due to new taxonomic arrangements. The taxon previously known as Lasiurus cinereus (Gervais, 1856) occurring in Minas Gerais may now be recognized as Lasiurus villosissimus (É Geoffroy, 1806); Molossus rufus E. Geoffroy, 1805 should be recognized as Molossus fluminensis Lataste, 1891; and Tonatia saurophila Koopman & Williams, 1951 as Tonatia maresi Williams, Willig & Reid, 1995. We also reidentified Saccopteryx bilineata (Temminck, 1838) as Saccopteryx leptura (Schreber, 1774).

Rhinophylla pumilio (UFMG7514) was recorded in Mata do Passarinho, Macarani (Appendix 1). This species may be identified based on the dorsal and ventral hairs bicolored, uropatagium narrow and naked, tail absent, first upper incisor notched and much larger than the second upper incisor, forearm 34.12 mm, greatest length of the skull 18.55 mm, and condyloincisive length 17.33 mm. The specimen of T. nicefori (CMUFLA1896) was recorded in Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (Appendix 1) and was identified based on its four-banded dorsal pelage with the pale median dorsal stripe evident on the lower back, pointed ears measuring 15.96 mm, forearm 36.58 mm, calcar shorter than foot, and upper incisors not chisel-shaped and projected forward.

Taxonomic nomenclature follows Wilson and Mittermeier (2019), except for the newly described Neoeptesicus (Cláudio et al. 2023). Order Chiroptera: nine families, 52 genera, 99 species.

A total of 1,663 specimen records were obtained from 181 municipalities distributed along the 12 mesoregions of the state (Figs 1, 2, Appendix 2). The number of sampled localities in Minas Gerais has significantly increased over the last 13 years, ranging from 53 (Tavares et al. 2010) to 181 municipalities with bat species sampled (Fig. 2A, B, Appendix 3). Considering the absolute number of localities, the most sampled mesoregions were “Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte”, “Zona da Mata”, and “Norte de Minas” (Fig. 1). However, when considering the relative number of sampled localities for each mesoregion, the “Norte de Minas” mesoregion has only approximately 23% of its municipalities sampled for bats (Fig. 1). Also, “Norte de Minas” exhibited the smallest rates of increment in the number of sampled localities compared to the survey performed by Tavares et al. (2010) (7 to 21; Appendix 3). In contrast, the “Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte” mesoregion had the largest increase rate of localities sampled for bats (11 to 46) (Fig. 2). The mesoregions “Vale do Mucuri”, “Campo das Vertentes”, and “Oeste de Minas” have been scarcely sampled and are represented by less than seven sampled localities (Figs 1, 2B).

The mesoregion with the largest number of known bat species is “Norte de Minas”, with 67 species recorded, followed by “Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte” with records of 64 species, and “Vale do Rio Doce”, with 62 bat species recorded (Figs 1, 3).

Sampled site localities for bats are distributed in the three biomes present in the state, totaling 102 in the Atlantic Forest, 71 in the Cerrado, and eight in the Caatinga (Fig. 2B). Among the 619 protected areas in the state of Minas Gerais, 33 have been sampled for bats, distributed in 32 municipalities (Table 2), and representing nearly 5.33% of the total of protected areas in Minas Gerais (IDE-SISEMA 2010, IEF 2021) (Fig. 4).

DISCUSSION

Over the last 13 years of bat sampling collection in the state of Minas Gerais, we encountered an impressive number of new records of bat species (N = 23), representing an increment of approximately two newly added bat species per year for the state. The 99 bat species with confirmed occurrence in the Minas Gerais state correspond to approximately 55% of the Brazilian bat fauna, placing Minas Gerais as the most bat-speciose state in southeastern Brazil, followed by Espírito Santo with 86 species (Abreu et al. 2021; Vela-Ulian et al. 2021), São Paulo with 81 species (Garbino 2016, Garbino et al. 2021), and Rio de Janeiro (n = 77; Peracchi and Nogueira 2010). This diversity is in part related to the state size, and if we correct the bat richness by state area (IBGE 2022), Espírito Santo stands out with more species per km2 than Minas Gerais.

The megadiversity of bats in Minas Gerais can also be explained by several aspects, such as its environmental complexity, which is characterized by the presence of several biomes and ecosystems along with their gradients. The landscape forms a typical mosaic of phytophysiognomies with diverse features, from humid lowlands forests to savannah and semi-arid formations and including climate latitudinal and altitudinal gradients. Furthermore, Minas Gerais boasts one of the highest densities of karstic areas in Brazil (CANIE 2019), and caves are a fundamental part of the life cycle of several cave bat species (Trajano 2000, Torquetti et al. 2017). Two of the main karstic regions of Brazil are in Minas Gerais (Travassos et al. 2008), including a vast part of the Bambuí formation, and the area is protected by Parque Nacional Cavernas do Peruaçu. Both regions feature hundreds of limestone caves, contributing significantly to the diversity and ecological complexity of bat habitats in the state (Tavares et al. 2010, Pinto et al. 2010, Monte and Bichuette 2020).

We report the first records of R. pumilio and T. nicefori for Minas Gerais state. Rhinophylla pumilio was recorded in Mata do Passarinho, Macarani, situated on the border of Bahia and Minas Gerais states, within the Atlantic Forest domain. This extends its known range approximately 193 km west from its nearest location in Ilhéus, Bahia state (Faria et al. 2006). Trinycteris nicefori is widely distributed throughout the Neotropical Region but is known only from 26 locations in Brazil and is apparently absent from the drier Cerrado and Caatinga domains (Silva et al. 2020). We recorded T. nicefori in the Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (PERD), Marliéria (42º43’55” W; 19º42’48” S). This record of T. nicefori extends its distribution by 263 km west from the nearest location in Linhares, Espírito Santo state (Peracchi and Albuquerque 1993) and increases the richness of the PERD to 54 bat species (Tavares et al. 2007, Gregorin et al. 2022).

Some changes in the Minas Gerais list resulted from revisionary work conducted in the last decade. Such is the case of M. currentium, which had been reported for the cities of Jaíba and Manga in northern Minas Gerais (Tavares et al. 2010) and was revised and reidentified by Loureiro et al. (2018) as M. molossus. Loureiro et al. further restricted the occurrence of M. currentium to western Mato Grosso state. We recognized the stripe-headed round-eared bat occurring in the state as T. maresi instead of T. saurophila, following Basantes et al. (2020). We followed the revisions of Loureiro et al. (2020b) and Baird et al. (2015) and considered, respectively, the names M. fluminensis and L. villosissimus instead of the names M. rufus and L. cinereus as previously listed in Tavares et al. (2010).

We also followed Garbino (2011) who reidentified a specimen numbered MZUSP 5830 as S. leptura, disregarding the occurrence of S. bilineata as indicated by Vieira (1955) as we could not locate a voucher for this record in the MZUSP collections. We consider it necessary to reassess the material attributed to Choeroniscus minor (Peters, 1868) in Minas Gerais but have not yet had the opportunity to examine the vouchers, which were identified by V. A. Taddei, prior to the description of the morphologically similar Dryadonycteris capixaba Nogueira, Lima, Peracchi & Simmons, 2012. However, the presence of C. minor in Minas Gerais cannot be ruled out, as it has been confirmed to occur in Espírito Santo (Vela-Ulian et al. 2021). Hintze et al. (2020) recorded calls of Promops centralis Thomas, 1915 in several locations in southeastern Brazil, including two of them in Minas Gerais. Despite this, we have not included this species in our updated list due to the absence of a housed voucher and because the distribution of P. centralis is currently restricted to the Amazon Forest. Nevertheless, we did not discard the possibility of the occurrence of this and other molossid species in Minas Gerais and understand that these bats are challenging to capture in mist-nets due to their usual foraging behavior at great heights. Even so, we encourage efforts to capture bats in future acoustic research surveys for an accurate identification of the bat species.

Of the 23 species newly added to our list, three had already been reported to the state prior to Tavares et al. (2010) but they were not included in that list because the authors were unable to locate and/or to verify the vouchers at that time. Glyphonycteris behnii (Peters, 1865) was recorded in Parque Nacional Serra da Canastra (Perrachi and Albuquerque, 1985), which also has unpublished records in the state that we were able to examine, Molossus pretiosus Miller, 1902 in Jaíba (Nogueira et al. 2008), and Artibeus gnomus Handley 1987 in Brasilândia de Minas (Redondo et al. 2008). Recently, other inventories and reviews have confirmed M. pretiosus for Jaíba (Nogueira et al. 2015, Loureiro et al. 2018, 2020a) and G. behnii in Pains (Genelhú et al. 2022).

The type-localities of five valid species are situated in Minas Gerais: Micronycteris minuta (Gervais, 1856) (Capela Nova), L. bokermanni (Jabuticatubas, Serra do Cipó), C. doriae (Minas Geraes = Minas Gerais), M. temminckii (Lagoa Santa), and E. chimaera (Parque Estadual do Rio Doce) (Burmeister 1854, Gervais, 1856, Thomas 1891, Sazima et al. 1978, Gregorin et al. 2016). Also, the two paratypes of T. wynneae are from Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (Velazco et al. 2014).

The high diversity of bats in the eastern Minas Gerais Atlantic Forest emphasizes the importance of employing combined sampling techniques to effectively assess the biodiversity of bats (Gregorin et al. 2022). This approach is further strengthened by concurrent taxonomic revisions accompanying surveys. The significance of the eastern Minas Gerais Atlantic Forest rare remnants, exemplified by sites such as the Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (PERD-Tavares et al. 2007; Gregorin et al. 2017) cannot be understated. Notably, the PERD stands out as one of the largest inland Atlantic Forest remnants in Brazil and the largest in Minas Gerais (Latini and Petrere 2004).

Two nectar-feeding bats occurring in Minas Gerais are globally classified as Endangered in the IUCN Red List, L. bokermanni and Lonchophylla dekeyseri Taddei, Vizotto & Sazima, 1983; twelve species are classified as “data deficient”, Tonatia bidens (Spix, 1823), D. capixaba, Xeronycteris vieirai Gregorin & Ditchfield, 2005, G. behnii, Vampyressa pusilla (Wagner, 1843), T. wynneae, Cynomops abrasus (Temminck, 1826), Molossops neglectus Williams & Genoways, 1980, Histiotus velatus (I. Geoffroy, 1824), Lasiurus egregius (Peters, 1870), Rhogeessa hussoni Genoways & Baker, 1996, and Myotis izecksohni Moratelli, Peracchi, Dias & Oliveira, 2011; and three as near threatened, Lonchophylla mordax Thomas, 1903, Natalus macrourus (Gervais, 1856), and Myotis ruber (É. Geoffroy, 1806) (IUCN 2022). In Brazil, L. dekeyseri is listed as Endangered and three species are listed as Vulnerable, L. bokermanni, Furipterus horrens (Cuvier, 1828), and N. macrourus (MMA 2022), all of them are cave bats occurring in Minas Gerais. At the state level, nine bat species have been included in threatened categories (COPAM 2010); five classified as endangered, C. minor, Lionycteris spurrelli Thomas, 1913, L. bokermanni, L. dekeyseri, and Phylloderma stenops Peters, 1865; and four as vulnerable, Diaemus youngii (Jentink, 1893), G. behnii, Glyphonycteris sylvestris Thomas, 1896, and X. vieirai. The Brazilian list was recently updated (MMA 2022) but the Minas Gerais state list was last updated more than a decade ago (COPAM 2010).

In the time interval of 13 years, the number of municipalities with bat records in the state rose from 53 to 181, an increase of 241.5% when compared to Tavares et al. (2010). Most of the sampling was concentrated in the Atlantic Forest, including 71 new sampled municipalities, making up a total of approximately 56% of the total sampled in the state. Sampling in the Cerrado, which occupies most of the state’s area, increased with the addition of 54 municipalities, totaling 39% of the total accounted for the state. For the Caatinga, which covers a relatively small area of the state, there was an increase of three new municipalities, in ca. 4.5% of the total number of municipalities sampled in the state. However, if considering the relative number of sampled municipalities for each biome, the Atlantic Forest has only 17.8% of its municipalities sampled, Cerrado has 27.8%, and Caatinga has 32%. Although the Caatinga in Minas Gerais has been the target of recent bat inventories and ecological studies (Pinto et al. 2010, Dias et al. 2013, Nogueira et al. 2015, Falcão et al. 2014, 2018, Monte and Bichuette 2020), no new municipalities within its realm in Minas Gerais have been added for collecting bats.

The most extensively sampled mesoregion in the state, “Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte”, concentrates the main research centers and universities, which, allied with the availability of resources and the facilitation of access, favor inventories in nearby areas, including sampling for iron mining licensing processes in the “Quadrilátero Ferrífero”. The three most speciose mesoregions are, respectively, “Norte de Minas”, “Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte”, and “Vale do Rio Doce”.

“Norte de Minas” and “Vale do Rio Doce” are poorly sampled compared to “Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte” suggesting that the richness is not necessarily related to the most sampled areas, as demonstrated by the heatmap (Fig. 3). Hypotheses on why this remarkable diversity of bat species occurs in the “Vale do Rio Doce, especially the Rio Doce State Park, include, perhaps, many synergistic factors: 1) this is a large protected area with 30,000 ha of forest, including portions of pristine vegetation; 2) moist and humid environment provides favorable conditions for diverse bat communities; 3) the continuity of bat inventories in PERD since the 1980s has contributed to a cumulative dataset and comprehensive understanding of the bat fauna in the region; and 4) of great relevance, recent studies employing a variety of methods for assessing the diversity, including canopy nets, bioacoustics, roost active searches, and ground-level mist-nets, have played a crucial role in accessing and documenting this high diversity (Gregorin et al. 2022).

Yet the high number of species in the Norte de Minas region may be explained by the ecotones and mosaics formed there with three ecosystems: the Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest. In the largest and historically poor sampled “Norte de Minas” mesoregion there has been a sampling increase in the last years (Nogueira et al. 2008, 2015) as well as studies carried out in the Parque Nacional Cavernas do Peruaçu and vicinity (Trajano and Gimenez 1998, Pinto et al. 2010). It is noteworthy that the Caatinga of northern Minas Gerais and the ecotonal area present in the “Triângulo Mineiro” in the western region of the state, despite being less sampled, demonstrate relevant species richness.

The protected areas are important to the maintenance of the fauna (Henry-Silva 2005), only 5.33% of them are included in the bat inventories of Minas Gerais state (IDE-SISEMA 2010). Two endangered species, C. minor and X. vieirai, are categorized as threatened in the state list (COPAM 2010). Additionally, the recently discovered species, E. chimaera and T. wynneae, were exclusively documented within protected areas or their vicinity. This underscores the significance of these areas for bat conservation. The state still has several sampling gaps, and the increase in sampling and revisionary studies, mainly in Cerrado and Caatinga, will allow baseline knowledge to support the proposition of new conservation units for the protection of the bat fauna of Minas Gerais state.
