Zortéa, MarlonAparecido Guimarães Tomaz, Leonardo

Herein we report two new occurrences of phyllostomids bats (Mesophylla macconnelli and Artibeus concolor) in the savanna habit (cerrado) in west-central Brazil. Mesophylla macconnelli was collected in the protected area of a private natural heritage reserve (Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Pousada das Araras), in Serranópolis municipality, Goiás state. Artibeus concolor was trapped near Serra da Mesa reservoir, in Niquelândia municipality, Goiás state. These records enlarge considerably the south distribution of the two species.
