Resumo
One individual of Carollia perspicillata showing partial albinism (leucism) is reported in this study. The specimen was captured in a mist net at Estero Inés, San Francisco River Basin, located in the southwestern of Esmeraldas Province, northwestern Ecuador. The adult, female, presents a high degree of albinism over most of the body. This is the first report of leucism in Ecuador not only for bats, but for all small mammals.
