Resumen

Through an analysis of seeds in faeces, I recorded some fruits consumed by 13 bat species in a premontane forest of the buffer zone of Santuario Nacional Pampa Hermosa (Junin, central Peru) in March 2017. Platyrrhinus albericoi was found for the first time in the area. Results provide the first evidence of granivory by Chiroderma salvini and frugivory by Lonchophylla handleyi , and additional records of fruits consumed by some Neotropical frugivorous bats in premontane forests.
