Interpretation of ultrasonic sounds emitted by bats during the search phase can provide information on their taxonomic identity and allow us to understand better how the species make habitat use, allowing monitoring. Objective: Eight spectral parameters are described from analysis of ten phase echolocation pulses emitted by the search lanceolate greater bat Phyllostomus hastatus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in this study. Methodology: Records are obtained by flight line and enclosed space inside recording booth. They displayed sonograms were obtained from two software SonoBat 2.2 for two males. Results: Obtained consensus between all registered, with the average values and the standard deviation between the spectral parameters reported by the two individuals tested; subsequently, these values are compared, under some constraints, so for P. hastatus reported by Baker (1977) and Santos (2003). Conclusions: The sonograms in both open and closed space space, comprising pulses whose minimum frequency (Fmin/Lof) covers ranges between 30-35 kHz and 45-53 kHz maximum between. The main harmonic reported from the open space comprise a range of 42-50 kHz and 38-45 kHz in enclosed space; these findings are consistent with those reported by Baker (1977) and Santos (2003).
