    The martucha (Potos flavus) is a threatened species in Mexico and it has been recorded previously in the state of Guerrero. Its distribution in the state of Guerrero was compiled and expanded. Occurrences of P. flavus in electronic repositories such as EncicloVida, Naturalista, and GBIF, as well as in scientific literature for the state of Guerrero were searched including new direct and indirect observations (skin, bone remains, and run over or hunted individuals). We found a total of 41 records of P. flavus. Of these 34 % correspond to literature and electronic repositories, and 66 % to fieldwork carried out in the last 16 years. It is important to continue scientific explorations directed to those areas that have been little explored, as well as the study of the main threats and the current conservation status of the wild populations of P. flavus. it is necessary to conduct informative talks that help understand the importance and the services provided by this species to the ecosystems.La martucha (Potos flavus) es una especie amenazada en México y ha sido registrada previamente en el estado de Guerrero. Recopilamos y ampliamos su distribución en el estado de Guerrero. Se realizó una búsqueda de ocurrencias de la especie en los repositorios electrónicos EncicloVida, Naturalista y GBIF, así como en la literatura científica publicada para el estado, que incluyó observaciones directas e indirectas (piel, restos óseos, e individuos atropellados o cazados). Se recopilaron 41 registros de P. flavus, de los cuales el 34 % fueron ocurrencias de la literatura y los repositorios electrónicos, y el 66 % de muestreos de campo en los últimos 16 años. Se resalta la importancia de seguir realizando exploraciones científicas dirigidas a aquellas áreas poco exploradas, así como la necesidad de describir principales amenazas y el estado de conservación de las poblaciones de P. flavus. Se sugiere la realización de pláticas divulgativas que ayuden a entender la importancia y los servicios que brinda esta especie a los ecosistemas

    We report new northwesternmost records of the Northern Little Yellow-eared Bat, Vampyressa thyone Thomas, 1909 (Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae), from Sierra de Atoyac, Guerrero, Mexico. We identified four individuals using morphological characters; two of the individuals were collected at 1,234 and 1,285 m above sea level, altitudes atypical for this species. Captures were recorded between 19:20 and 23:18 h, and all individuals presented signs of reproductive activity. With these data, we increase the scarce knowledge about this rare frugivorous bat
