Pygoderma bilabiatum (Photo 1) is a phyllostomid bat recorded for southeastern Brazil, south central Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina (Koopman 1982, Emmons & Feer 1990, Nowak 1991). In spite of its widespread distribution, local populations seem rare and patchily distributed (Emmons & Feer 1990), and some basic aspects of its natural history, such as diet and reproduction, remain relatively unknown.

The single species, P. bilabiatum, has been reported from Surinam, southeastern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and adjacent Argentina; a reported occurrence in Mexico has been shown to be erroneous (Anderson, Koopman, and Creighton 1982; Jones and Carter 1976; Owen and Webster 1983). The vernacular name refers to the type locality, Ipanema, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
