ABSTRACT
Complete or true albinism is a rare phenomenon in bats and is characterized by complete lack of melanin, so that the skin is pale, fur is white, and eyes are red. Among all known occurrences, three species and ten individuals are members of the family Molossidae, and no reference was found for the genus Eumops. Herein we are describing the first case of true albinism in Eumops glaucinus. Our work increases to 40 the list of bat species with albinism, and to at least 67 the number of albino specimens recorded in the literature
