picture info	Leaf-nosed Bat The New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) are bats (order Chiroptera) found from southern North America to South America, specifically from the Southwest United States to northern Argentina. Both the scientific and common names derive from their often large, lance-shaped noses, though this is greatly reduced in some of the nectar- and pollen-feeders. Because these bats echolocate nasally, this "nose-leaf" is thought to serve some role in modifying and directing the echolocation call. Similar nose leaves are found in some other groups of bats, most notably the Old World leaf-nosed bats. They are the most ecologically diverse bat family; members of this family have evolved to use food groups as varied as fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, frogs, other bats, and small vertebrates, and in the case of the vampire bats, blood. Most species are insectivorous, but the phyllostomid bats also include true predatory species and frugivores (subfamily Stenodermatinae and Carolliinae). ...

	Geoffroy's Tailless Bat Geoffroy's tailless bat (''Anoura geoffroyi'') is a species of phyllostomid bat from the American tropics. Description Geoffroy's tailless bat is a medium-sized bat, measuring around in total length and weighing . It has dark to dull brown fur over much of its body, with greyish-brown underparts and silvery-grey fur on the neck and shoulders. The wings are black or very dark brown, while the membrane between the legs is relatively small and covered in hair. As its name suggests, the bat does not possess a tail. It has a long muzzle, a projecting lower jaw, and short, rounded ears. Its tongue is long and narrow, with a pointed tip covered with fine papillae that help to draw up nectar when it feeds. Males and females do not vary much in size in Brazil, but in Trinidad, another area where ''Anoura geoffroyi'' lives, the females are reported to have slightly longer forearms than the males. Distribution and habitat Geoffroy's tailless bat is found from northern Mexico, through muc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Anoura Aequatoris ''Anoura aequatoris'' (also known as the equatorial tailless bat) is a species of microbat that lives in South America in the countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Taxonomy When first described in 1921, Einar Lönnberg classified ''Anoura aequatoris'' as a subspecies of '' Anoura caudifer''. In 2006, Mantilla-Meluk and Baker argued that there were enough differences between the two to elevate ''Anoura aequatoris'' to the level of distinct species. This conclusion, however, has been challenged. Some believe that it is not distinct enough to warrant separation from ''A. caudifera,'' and that further analysis is needed. A 2008 study challenged that elevating it to a species overstated the amount of diversity within the genus, and that it should remain a subspecies. Description ''A. aequatoris'' can be differentiated from ''A. caudifer'' on the basis of its morphology, including its densely furred uropatagium The patagium (: patagia) is a membranous body part that as ...

	Commissaris's Long-tongued Bat Commissaris's long-tongued bat (''Glossophaga commissarisi'') is a bat species from South and Central America. Description The bat's length ranges from 43 to 65 mm, has a wingspan of 32 to 42 mm, and weighs on average 9.3 to 9.5 grams. Colour varies from dark, light, and reddish, brown. The species presents no sexual dimorphism, and has a long tongue with bristle-like papillae. Habitat and range It is found from Southern Mexico to Panama, as well as in Guyana Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern coast of South America, part of the historic British West Indies. entry "Guyana" Georgetown, Guyana, Georgetown is the capital of Guyana and is also the co ....

	Dryadonycteris Capixaba ''Dryadonycteris capixaba'' is a species of leaf-nosed bat found in South America. It is the only species within the genus ''Dryadonycteris''. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 2012. It was described in part from museum specimens that had been identified as the lesser long-tongued bat. The holotype was collected in 2011 in Linhares, Brazil. It is within the subfamily Glossophaginae. The genus name ''Dryadonycteris'' was derived from Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius's name for Atlantic Forest, "Dryades." "Dryades" was derived from Greek dryas, or "wood nymph." "''Dryadonycteris''" literally means "bat from Dryades," here meaning Atlantic Forest. The species name "''capixaba''" is from the Tupia language meaning "a native of the state of Espírito Santo." Description It is similar in appearance to '' Lichonycteris'' and '' Choeroniscus'' species. It is a small member of Glossophaginae, with a forearm length of . It has a triangular nose-leaf. Its ...

	Mexican Long-tongued Bat The Mexican long-tongued bat (''Choeronycteris mexicana'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is the only species within the genus ''Choeronycteris''. It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and the United States. Etymology The genus name ''Choeronycteris'' is derived from the Greek words (pig) and (bat). The specific name ''mexicana'' correlates to its distribution. Description The Mexican long-tongued bat is medium in size in the family Phyllostomidae. Its pelage can be up to 7 mm long and is typically gray to brownish but can be paler on the shoulders. Wings are darker brownish gray with paler tips. The ears will also have the same coloration as the body and will vary in size. The tail is short. Body weight is 10-20 g, with a maximum of 25 g in pregnant females. The species has a distinctly elongated snout tipped with a roughly 5 mm-long nose-leaf. The tongue is long, narrow and extendible, specialized for nectar feeding. It is ...

	Minor Long-nosed Long-tongued Bat The lesser long-tongued bat (''Choeroniscus minor''), also called the lesser long-tailed bat, is a bat species from South America. Description Relatively small among bats, members of this species have a total length of , a forearm around long, and weigh from ; females are slightly larger than males. The tail is long, with the first half being embedded within the uropatagium, which is also partially supported by well developed calcars. The body is covered with thick hair that is dark brown to almost black in colour. As the common name for the species suggests, the muzzle is slender and elongated, although not unusually so among glossophagine bats, and is tipped with a triangular nose-leaf. The ears are rounded, with curved folds along either edge, and a large tragus. The tongue is remarkably long, and can be extended even when the bat's jaws are closed, because of a wide gap between the front teeth, reaching up to 50% of the animal's entire body length. The tip of the tongue be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
