An expedition uncovers a new species, Vampyrops brachycephalus, in South America, highlighting biodiversity.
In the summer of 1964 an expedition headed by one of us (Carter) collected series of two small species of Vampyrops in the Amazon drainage of Peru. Four of these specimens are referable to Vampyrops helleri Peters. The remaining specimens represent an undescribed species, for which we propose the name: Vampyrops brachycephalus, new species.
