	Hylonycteris Underwood's long-tongued bat (''Hylonycteris underwoodi'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is the only species within the genus ''Hylonycteris''. It is found in Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. Hylonycteris underwoodi feed on nectar, pollen grains, agave and fruits. This choice of food has allowed them to gain the ability of hovering flight, thereby evolving their body mass and size to compensate for the same. Taxonomy It was described as a new species in 1903 by British mammalogist Oldfield Thomas. The holotype was collected by Cecil F. Underwood, who is the eponym for the species name In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, bot ...

	Choeronycteris 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''. The species 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 feedi ...

	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 much ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Tailed Tailless Bat The tailed tailless bat (''Anoura caudifer'') is a species of leaf-nosed bat from South America. Taxonomy The scientific name of this species is variously given as either ''A. caudifer'' or ''A. caudifera'', with scientists having argued for both names on the basis of Latin grammar and of the ICZN rules on the naming of species. When Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire first described the bat in 1818, he used the species name "''caudifer''", and this is the name currently preferred by such influential sources as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and ''Mammal Species of the World''. The common name of the bat is typically given as the "tailed tailless bat". This is because the species belongs to the genus ''Anoura'', commonly called the "tailless bats", yet it possesses a tail. However, the name is arguably somewhat misleading, since only three of the other seven species of "tailless bats" genuinely lack a tail. Of the remaining four, however, three have tails that a ...

	Cadena's Tailless Bat Cadena's tailless bat (''Anoura cadenai'') is a species of bat native to Colombia. In 2006 it was described as a separate species from the tailed tailless bat species complex. Taxonomy and etymology Cadena's tailless bat was species description, described as a new species in 2006. The holotype had been collected between Calima, Valle del Cauca, Calima and Restrepo, Valle del Cauca, Restrepo in Colombia. The species was named after Alberto Cadena, curator of the collection of mammals of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales (Bogota). Description Its fur is a blackish-brown color. Its forearm length is . Ecology The ecology of this species is poorly understood due to its recent description. Specimens were recorded at relatively high altitudes (between 800 and 1600m), in habitats of the Andean forest with mature trees covered by epiphytes. This species is sympatric with two other species from the genus Anoura : ''Tailed tailless bat, A. caudifer'' and ''Handley's tailless bat, A. cu ...
