Abstract: We confirm the presence of Dermanura rava Miller, 1902 in Panama based on two specimens collected in Chagres National Park, whose identification was based mainly on the ventral morphology of the skull, particularly the absence of posterior nares in front of the mesopterygoid fossa. This finding fills an important gap in knowledge about the distribution of the species in Central America and extends its known range approximately 308 km north-ward to the Panama Canal region.
