Resumo
We report a predation event of the fringe-lipped bat (Trachops cirrhosus) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) upon the slender-legged tree frog (Osteocephalus oophagus) (Anura: Hylidae), in Central Amazonia, Brazil. This observation adds a new prey item to the T. cirrhosus diet and shines some light on the scarce ecological knowledge of both predator and prey species.(AU)
