We describe the development of 11 microsatellite loci for Spix's disk-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor. Microsatellite markers were located using standard methodology, and tested on a population of 40 animals from Tortuguero, Costa Rica. These 11 loci had 2-18 alleles per locus, and, with the exception of two loci (TT4 and TT17), had observed and expected heterozygosities of greater than 70%. Cross-species amplification was largely limited to another member of the same family, but several loci amplified polymorphic product in species from three other families.
