          Abstract

          El leucismo es una condición genética expresada externamente como la ausencia de coloración parcial o total resultante de una deficiencia en el depósito de melanina en la piel y el pelo. Presentamos el primer caso de leucismo en Glossophaga soricina valens para Perú, especie nectarívora de la vertiente occidental de los Andes de Perú y Ecuador, también presente en la cuenca del río Marañón. Se discuten algunas implicancias sobre este hallazgo y actualizamos la lista de especies de murciélagos registrados con leucismo en América.
