Abstract We report the first record of the rare Koepcke’s spear-nosed bat Gardnerycteris koepckeae collected outside of Peru, based on morphological and cytochrome b data. The species was found at the National Natural Park Alto Fragua Indi-Wasi, Department of Caquetá, Colombia. This record extended the species distribution 1400 km north from the northernmost known locality in Huanhuachayo, Ayacucho, Peru. This finding suggests that G. koepckeae is distributed over middle elevations along the eastern slope of the Andean-Amazonia foothills in Peru and Colombia, similar to other Phyllostomid bats, such as Vampyressa melissa and Lonchophylla handleyi. We reviewed the threatened category of G. koepckeae, currently categorized as Data Deficient (DD), according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but considered as Endangered (EN) in recent papers. Based on this new record, we suggest that the species should be included in future assessments as Near Threatened (NT) or Vulnerable (VU) based on its wider distribution along the Andean-Amazonian foothills of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and probably the Orinoco slope of the Andes of Colombia and Venezuela.

Koepcke 的矛鼻蝙蝠 Gardnerycteris koepckaee（Gardner 和 Patton，1972）（手足目：Phyllostomidae）不是秘鲁特有的：哥伦比亚亚马逊山麓的首次记录

摘要我们根据形态学和细胞色素 b 数据报告了在秘鲁境外收集的罕见的 Koepcke 矛鼻蝙蝠 Gardnerycteris koepckaee 的第一个记录。该物种是在哥伦比亚卡克塔省 Alto Fragua Indi-Wasi 国家自然公园发现的。该记录将物种分布范围从秘鲁阿亚库乔的万华查约最北端已知地点向北扩展了 1400 公里。这一发现表明，G. koepckeae 分布在秘鲁和哥伦比亚安第斯亚马逊山麓东坡的中海拔地区，类似于其他叶蝠蝙蝠，如 Vampyressa melissa 和 Lonchophylla handleyi。根据国际自然保护联盟 (IUCN)，我们审查了 G. koepckaee 的受威胁类别，目前被归类为数据缺乏 (DD)，但在最近的论文中被认为是濒危（EN）。根据这一新记录，我们建议该物种应根据其更广泛的分布在哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁的安第斯亚马逊山麓，可能还有奥里诺科河，作为近危 (NT) 或易危 (VU) 纳入未来的评估哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉的安第斯山脉的斜坡。
