The high species richness of the bat subfamily Phyllostominae is considered indicative of a well-preserved ecosystem; however, is one the less studied groups in Honduras. In this document, we present the first records of Chrotopterus auritus (Peters, 1856) and Tonatia bakeri Williams, Willig & Reid, 1995, and the second of Lophostoma silvicolum d’Orbigny, 1836 for the department of Gracias a Dios, in eastern Honduras. Based on historical reports for these species, these records represent the fifth-known locality for C. Auritus and L. silvicolum, and the second for T. Bakeri in Honduras, representing how poor these species are known in the country. We recommend future studies which include population trends, evaluation of their roosting sites, and the establishment of their conservational status in the studied areas
