Abstract
Balantiopteryx infusca is a small bat endemic to southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. We present a new locality for B. infusca on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The species is poorly known and there are scarce records of it in the country. This new record is noteworthy because it is the first one inside a National Natural Park for the country.
