Glauconycteris Variegata
The variegated butterfly bat (''Glauconycteris variegata'') is a species of vesper bat. It is sometimes also called the leaf-winged bat, or simply the butterfly bat. It is not currently endangered, but may be threatened by habitat loss in some parts of its range. Description Variegated butterfly bats are relatively small bats, averaging in total length, with a tail, and weighing around . Females are slightly larger than males, with an average wingspan of , compared with a typical male wingspan of . The body is covered in long, silky fur of highly variable colour, although usually yellowish or light grey, and lacking the prominent patterns found on some closely related species. The fur on the undersides is white or very pale grey, and that on the face and ears is brown. The wing membranes also have a sparse covering of hair, and have a distinctive reticulated pattern of dark veins, from which the bat takes the first part of its name. The bat has a domed head and a short snout ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glauconycteris Superba
The pied butterfly bat (''Glauconycteris superba''), also known as the pied bat or badger bat, is a rare species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. Taxonomy First discovered in 1939 in Belgian Congo, the species was, at that time, placed in the genus ''Glauconycteris'' under the name ''Glauconycteris superba''. Following a 2013 capture in South Sudan, only the fifth recorded capture of the species, the pied bat was relocated to an entirely new genus, ''Niumbaha'', named after the Zande word for "rare". Biology professor DeeAnn Reeder, one of the authors of the genus ''Niumbaha'', said, "its cranial characters, its wing characters, its size, the ears – literally everything you look at doesn't fit. It's so unique that we need to create a new genus." However, recognition of ''Niumbaha'' renders ''Glauconycteris'' paraphyletic and it is incorrect to treat ''Niumbaha'' as a valid genus without further splitting of ''Glauconycteris''.' Due to this, both taxa have once again ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Glauconycteris Humeralis
Allen's spotted bat (''Glauconycteris humeralis'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae found in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and Uganda. It is found in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Taxonomy and etymology It was described in 1917 by American mammalogist Joel Asaph Allen. The holotype used to describe the species had been collected by Herbert Lang and James Chapin. Chapin and Lang first encountered the species in Medje, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its species name "'' humeralis''" is Latin for "having a cape," possibly referring to its white shoulder patches. Description It has "conspicuous" tufts of white fur on each of its shoulders. Its fur is brown, with the dorsal fur darker than the ventral fur. Its flight membranes are also brown. It lacks a calcar. It has small, yellowish-brown ears and a short tragus.
