Histiotus Laephotis
Thomas's big-eared brown bat (''Histiotus laephotis'') is a species of vesper bat found in South America. Taxonomy and etymology Thomas's big-eared brown bat was described as a new species in 1916 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas described the species based on specimens held by the Turin Museum of Natural History that had been collected by "Dr. Borelli", likely Dr. Alfredo Borelli, who furnished many biological specimens during this time from Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. The holotype had been collected in Caiza, Bolivia, which is located in the Potosí Department of Southern Bolivia. Of the species name "''laephotis''", Thomas was not clear on its meaning, though he remarked that it " ada similar meaning" to the name ''histiotus'', which means "sail ear" (from Ancient Greek " ἱστός" meaning "mast" + " οὖς" meaning "ear"). A hypothesis for the etymology of ''laephotis'' is that it comes from Greek " λαιός" meaning "awkward" and " φως" meaning "l ...

Moche Big-eared Brown Bat
The Moche big-eared brown bat (''Histiotus mochica'') is a species of Vespertilionidae, vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is Endemism, endemic to coastal Peru. It is notable for its likely depiction in Moche culture, Moche Ceramic, ceramics over a millennium prior to its discovery to Western science in 2012 and scientific description in 2021. Taxonomy It is thought to be the sister species to the Humboldt big-eared brown bat (''H. humboldti''). Distribution It is restricted to the Sechura Desert, Peruvian desert, alongside several other bat species uniquely adapted to the harsh and arid habitat. This habitat also coincides with the historic extent of the Moche culture. Description It can be distinguished from other members of the genus ''Histiotus'' by its unique ears as well as its uniform brown Fur, pelage, in contrast to the multicolored pelage of other ''Histiotus'' species. Discovery and significance Bats were frequently represented in Moche culture, M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Histiotus Macrotus
The big-eared brown bat (''Histiotus macrotus'') is a species of vesper bat found in Argentina, Paraguay, and Chile. Taxonomy It was described as a new species in 1835 by German zoologist Eduard Friedrich Poeppig. Poeppig placed it in the genus ''Nycticeius'', with a binomial of ''N. macrotus''. By 1875, it was published under its current name combination, ''Histiotus macrotus''. Description It has large ears that exceed in length. The fur on its back is dark brown, while its belly fur is whitish. The flight membranes and ears are the darkest parts of its body. Range and habitat It is found in South America, where its range includes Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay. One study published that the species was found in Peru, though the image of the specimen did not appear to show the big-eared brown bat. It has been documented at a range of elevations from above sea level. Conservation As of 2016, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN The International Union ...

Histiotus Magellanicus
The southern big-eared brown bat (''Histiotus magellanicus'') is a species of bat from the family Vespertilionidae. Although current taxonomy treats the southern big-eared brown bat as a separate species, it is often treated as a subspecies of the small big-eared brown bat. It lives in the forests of southern Argentina and Chile; though the population of the bat in the southern part of its habitat is low, there are no major concerns to justify anything lower than a Least Concern rating in the IUCN Red List. Description This is a small bat, with a total length of and a wingspan of about . Adults weigh from . The fur is soft and dark brown in colour across the whole of the body, allowing it to be distinguished from other members of the same genus which much paler, often whitish, underparts. The ears are large and moderately elongated with a well-developed tragus and are separated on the head, rather than being connected by a band of skin as in some closely related species. The sk ...
