Summary "A New Subspecies of the Fruit-eating Bat, Sturnira ludovici, From Western Mexico" by J. Knox Jones, Jr., and Gary L. Phillips is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work is part of the University of Kansas Publications, Museum of Natural History and focuses on the taxonomy and description of a newly identified subspecies of the fruit-eating bat found in Western Mexico. The book discusses the morphological characteristics and geographical distribution of the bat, contributing to the understanding of biodiversity in this region. In this publication, the authors describe the new subspecies, named "Sturnira ludovici occidentalis", based on 23 specimens collected during field studies in Western Mexico. They detail the specific anatomical measurements that distinguish this subspecies from its relatives, including size, skull shape, and pelage characteristics. The research highlights the geographic variation within the species and emphasizes the need for further studies to accurately determine the distribution of this subspecies. The book ultimately enriches the field of mammalogy by providing essential data on the ecological and biological aspects of these bats, showcasing the importance of taxonomic research in biodiversity conservation.
