RESUMO
Morphometric and distributional data and some observations on the biology of Natalus stramineus Gray, 1838 collected in eastern Bolivia and in northern, northeastern, central, and southeastern Brazil are presented. All new records, combined with the records of the species from Paraguay and Mato Grosso, significantly change the known distribution of N. stramineus in South America. The specimens from northeastern Brazil (Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Bahia) are smaller than those found in the northern (Pará), eastern (Espírito Santo, São Paulo) and central regions of the country (Distrito Federal, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul). Natalus stramineus specimens from the three latter regions are about the same size, but are larger than those from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Their size is intermediate between those of central samples and northeastern Brazil samples. The type locality of this species is discussed.

RESUMO
Summary The present note records the free-tailed bat. Molossops brachymeles mastivus, in northern Brazil. The bat. an adult male, was captured in a "buriti" palm (Mauritia sp.) in Manaus( Amazonas. Brazil. Measurements are given and compared to those of adult male specimens of Molossops brachymeles cerastes, from southeastern Brazil. Apparently, this paper is the first record of M. brachymeles mastivus since the original description.
Resumo A presente nota registra a presença do morcego de cauda livre, Molossops brachymeles mastivus no norte do Brasil. O morcego, um macho adulto, foi capturado numa palmeira de "buriti" (Mauritia sp.) em Manaus, Amazonas. As medições são dadas e comparadas com as de machos adultos de Molossops brachymeles cerastes do sudeste brasileiro. Este trabalho é aparentemente o primeiro registro de M. brachymeles mastivus após a descrição original.
RESUMO
Summary Eight species of bats from the Ecological Station of Maracá in the Federal Territory of Roraima were taxonomically analysed. The following species were treated in the study: Pteronotus parnellii rubiginosus, Carollia p. perspicillata, Uroderma b. bilobatum, Uroderma magniiostrum, Chiroderma v. villosum, Artibeus fuliginosus, Desmodus r. rotundus and Molossus m. molossus. Notes on the geographic distribution of the species are included.
Resumo Foram analisadas oito espécies de morcegos (Pteronotus parnellii rubiginosus, Carollia p. perspicillata, Uroderma b. bilobatum, Uroderma magnirostrum, Chiroderma v. villosum, Artibeus fuliginosus, Desmodus r. rotundus, Molossus m. molossus) colecionados na Estação Ecológica de Maracá, Território Federal de Roraima. São fornecidas medidas externas e cranianas dos exemplares, ao lado de observações taxonômicas e sobre a distribuição geográfica das espécies.
