Mimon bennettii is widely distributed in South America. In Brazil, records are mainly concentrated in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes, although there are scattered occurrences in the Pantanal, Caatinga, and Amazonian biomes. In this study, we report the first occurrence of M. bennettii in the Amazonas State, Brazil. We compare these Amazonian specimens to a sample from the Atlantic Forest and discuss morphological differences. This record extends the Brazilian distribution westward by 1350 km. Amazonas is now the richest Brazilian state, with 128 bat species.
