Carollia
''Carollia'' is a genus of bats often referred to as the short-tailed fruit bats. Along with the genus ''Rhinophylla'', ''Carollia'' makes up the subfamily Carolliinae of family Phyllostomidae, the leaf-nosed bats. Currently, nine species of ''Carollia'' are recognized, with a number having been described since 2002. Members of this genus are found throughout tropical regions of Central and South America but do not occur on Caribbean islands other than Trinidad and Tobago. Bats of the genus ''Carollia'' often are among the most abundant mammals in neotropical ecosystems and play important roles as seed dispersers, particularly of pioneer plants such as those of the genera ''Piper'', ''Cecropia'', ''Solanum'', and ''Vismia''. ''Carollia'' are primarily frugivorous; however, ''C. perspicillata'', ''C. castanea'', and ''C. subrufa'' are known to feed on insects. Genus ''Carollia'' – short-tailed leaf-nosed bats * Benkeith's short-tailed bat, ''C. benkeithi'' *Silky short-tail ...

Dwarf Little Fruit Bat
The dwarf little fruit bat (''Rhinophylla pumilio'') is a species of leaf-nosed bat from South America. Description As its name implies, the dwarf little fruit bat is a relatively small bat. Adults are just in head-body length, and weigh only . Females are slightly larger, on average, than males. The fur is generally drab, being brown or reddish-brown across the entire body, although the individual hairs have white roots. The ears are rounded and hairless, with a relatively small tragus, and are pinkish-brown in colour. The bats have a prominent nose-leaf, which, when flattened, easily extends to the animal's forehead. The wing membranes are blue, and contrast with the bony parts of the wing, which have a distinct white colour. They extend all the way to the base of the toes, and the uropatagium reaches to mid-way along the lower leg. There is no tail, a feature which distinguishes these bats from the otherwise similar short-tailed fruit bats that inhabit the same region. A fu ...

Seba's Short-tailed Bat
Seba's short-tailed bat (''Carollia perspicillata'') is a common and widespread bat species in the family Phyllostomidae. They are found in Central America, the northern parts of South America, and in the Antilles islands. Description ''C. perspicillata'' is a small to medium-sized bat with relatively short ears, and a short, triangular noseleaf. They have fur that is dense and soft, and can be a variety of colors, ranging from black to brown to gray, with both albino and orange individuals found in certain areas. Sexual dimorphism varies in ''C. perspicillata'' based on geography. In Colombia, there are no differences in size and color between sexes, but in the West Indies females are usually larger, and males are larger everywhere else this species is found. ''C. perspicillata'' has a very good sense of smell, good visual acuity, and they show less specialization in their auditory apparatus as opposed to insectivorous bats. However, they still employ echolocation as a prim ...
