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.

Mammals Described In 1971
Mammals () are a group of vertebrate animals constituting the class Mammalia (), characterized by the presence of mammary glands which in females produce milk for feeding (nursing) their young, a neocortex (a region of the brain), fur or hair, and three middle ear bones. These characteristics distinguish them from reptiles (including birds) from which they diverged in the Carboniferous, over 300 million years ago. Around 6,400 extant species of mammals have been described divided into 29 orders. The largest orders, in terms of number of species, are the rodents, bats, and Eulipotyphla (hedgehogs, moles, shrews, and others). The next three are the Primates (including humans, apes, monkeys, and others), the Artiodactyla (cetaceans and even-toed ungulates), and the Carnivora (cats, dogs, seals, and others). In terms of cladistics, which reflects evolutionary history, mammals are the only living members of the Synapsida (synapsids); this clade, together with Sauropsida ...
