Bat Genera
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera.''cheir'', "hand" and πτερόν''pteron'', "wing". With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is in length, across the wings and in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes, with the giant golden-crowned flying fox, ''Acerodon jubatus'', reaching a weight of and having a wingspan of . The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the echolocating microbats. But more recent evidence has supported dividing the order into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Soriano's Yellow-shouldered Bat
Soriano's yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira sorianoi''), is an extant species of leaf-nosed bat indigenous to Bolivia and Venezuela, although its precise distribution is uncertain. Following the postulation of the species in 2005, ''S. sorianoi'' requires contemporary information relating its distribution, environment, and population, along with formal a comparison with ''S. erythromos'' and ''S. bogotensis''. Without sufficient data, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) presently considers the taxonomy for ''S. sorianoi'' as incomplete. See also *List of mammals of Bolivia *List of mammals of Venezuela This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Venezuela. Of the mammal species in Venezuela, one is critically endangered, six are endangered, nineteen are vulnerable, and four are near threatened. One species is classified as extinct. The foll ...

La Perla Yellow-shouldered Bat
''Sturnira perla'' is a species of yellow-shouldered bat found in Ecuador. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 2011 by Jarrín and Kunz. The holotype had been collected in Bosque Protector La Perla in 1990. Its species name "''perla''" was chosen both to refer to something "very precious" as well as the globular shape of its skull. Additionally, the species name honors Bosque Protector La Perla, which is where the majority of the specimens used in the original description were found. Description Its forearm length is . It is regarded as a cryptic species, as it is similar in appearance to the little, Louis's, and Tilda's yellow-shouldered bats. Its dental formula is for a total of 32 teeth. Range and habitat It is endemic to Ecuador. It is found in lowland habitats of above sea level. Conservation As of 2016, it is assessed as data deficient by the IUCN because it is poorly known, and, while it could be severely impacted by deforestation ...

Sturnira Paulsoni
Paulson's yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira paulsoni'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is endemic to the Lesser Antilles. According to the most recent IUCN analysis in 2019, it is near-threatened. Taxonomy The species was originally described as a species by de la Torre and Shwartz in 1966, before being reduced to a subspecies of ''S. lilium'' by Jones & Phillips in 1976. It was restored species status in 2013. Habitat and distribution The species is found on the islands of Saint Vincent, Grenada and Saint Lucia Saint Lucia ( acf, Sent Lisi, french: Sainte-Lucie) is an island country of the West Indies in the eastern Caribbean. The island was previously called Iouanalao and later Hewanorra, names given by the native Arawaks and Caribs, two Amerindi ... in the Lesser Antilles.

Northern Yellow-shouldered Bat
''Sturnira parvidens'' is a species of leaf-nosed bat found in Central America. Taxonomy It was described as a subspecies of the little yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira lilium'') in 1917 by American zoologist Edward Alphonso Goldman and given the trinomen ''S. lilium parvidens''. The holotype had been collected in 1903 by Goldman and Edward William Nelson at "Papayo", given as northwest of Acapulco, Mexico. The species name "''parvidens''" derives from Latin ''parvus'', meaning "small", and ''dens'', meaning "tooth". The little yellow-shouldered bat has been recognized as a species complex In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance and other features that the boundaries between them are often unclear. The taxa in the complex may be able to hybridize readily with each oth ..., and some authors have considered ''S. parvidens'' as a separate species since 2000.

Lesser Yellow-shouldered Bat
The lesser yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira nana'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is native to Peru and Ecuador. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy and etymology It was described in 1971, based on a specimen that had been collected in 1970. It is a member of the yellow-shouldered bats. Its lineage is basal to the other members of its genus, with the exception of the bidentate yellow-shouldered bat, ''Sturnira bidens''. The basal ''Sturnira'' lineages (''S. nana'', ''S. bidens'', and ''S. aratathomasi'') began to diverge from other members of the genus during the Late Miocene (5.2–8.1 million years ago). It was initially placed in the subgenus ''Corvira'', though this taxonomic rank is now viewed as synonymous to ''Sturnira''. Its species name ''nana'' is likely derived from Latin word nāna, meaning "dwarf." It is the smallest member of its genus–a fact that is referenced several times in its initial description.

Talamancan Yellow-shouldered Bat
The Talamancan yellow-shouldered bat (''Sturnira mordax'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found only in Costa Rica and Panama, and there are no subspecies. Description The bat is relatively small, with adults measuring only in head-body length, and weighing between . Males are larger than females. It is very similar in appearance to the closely related highland yellow-shouldered bat, but with a more uniform dark colour, a longer, narrower, head, and larger canine teeth. The forearm has a thick coating of fur for about a third of its length, whereas there is only sparse hair on the hind feet. Other distinctive features include a notch at the tip of the tragus, and the presence of two points on each of the upper middle incisors. It has a relatively simple nose-leaf, and short, pointed ears, and does not have a tail. Little is known of the bat's biology, although it is believed to breed throughout the year.
