We report 118 confirmed phyllostomid species for Colombia, and 14 species po¬ tentially present in the country, for a total of 132 species representing 40 genera and 10 subfamilies. All known phyllostomid subfamilies are represented in Colombia, with the exception of the subfamily Macrotinae (not present in South America). At 118 known species, Colombia has the greatest number of phyllostomid bats ofany country. Included in the lists are 27 recently recognized species (19 newly described species and eight newly elevated species), 19 ofwhich are confirmed for Colombia, while eight are potentially present. The checklist is accompanied by 18 taxonomic comments explain¬ ing recent changes in the taxonomy ofthe group. In addition. Geographic Information Systems (GlS)-based models ofpotential distribution were created for both confirmed and potentially present phyllostomid species, and species richness patterns were ana¬ lyzed. Finally, comments on the biogeography ofthe group are included.
