Miller (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1902, p. 390, September 3,1902) based the name _Pipistrellus cinnamomeus_ on a skin and skull of a vespertilionid bat obtained on May 4, 1900, at Montecristo, Tabasco, Mexico, by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman. A single specimen was available to Miller when he proposed the name _P. cinnamomeus_. Dalquest and Hall (Jour. Mamm., 29: 180, May 14, 1948) reported three additional specimens collected in 1946 by W. W. Dalquest on the Rio Blanco, twenty kilometers west-northwest of Piedras Negras, Veracruz, Mexico. No other published information concerning this species is known to us, although the name has, of course, appeared in regional lists, for example in the "List of North American Recent Mammals, 1923" (Bull. U. S. National Museum, 128: 75, April 29, 1924) by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.
