Henri Louis Frédéric De Saussure
Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure (; ; 27 November 1829 – 20 February 1905) was a Swiss mineralogist and entomologist specialising in studies of Hymenoptera and Orthopteroid insects. He also was a prolific taxonomist. Biography Saussure's elementary education was at Alphonse Briquet's then, as an adolescent, at the Hofwyl school run by Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg. At the University of Geneva he was taught by François Jules Pictet de la Rive, who introduced him to entomology. After several years of study in Paris he received the degree of licentiate of the Faculty of Paris and obtained the degree of Doctor from the University of Giessen. He worked mainly on Hymenoptera and Orthoptera. His first paper, in 1852, was on solitary wasps. In 1854 he traveled to the West Indies, then to Mexico and the United States of America. There he met Louis Agassiz. He returned to Switzerland in 1856 with collections of American insects, myriapods, crustaceans, birds and ma ...

Platyrrhinus Matapalensis
The Matapalo broad-nosed bat (''Platyrrhinus matapalensis'') is a species of leaf-nosed bat described in 2005. It is found in South America. Taxonomy and etymology Before it was described, there were only 10 species recognized in the genus ''Platyrrhinus''. With the description of ''P. matapalensis'' and other species since 2005, the total is now at least 20 species. ''P. matapalensis'' was described as the result of a taxonomic split in Heller's broad-nosed bat, with the "Eastern" populations retaining the name ''P. helleri'', and the "Western" populations described as ''P. matapalensis''. The holotype for the species was collected in July 1954 in Zarumilla, Peru by Peruvian ornithologist Celestino Kalinowski. Its species name ''matapalensis'' is derived from the Matapalo District, where the holotype was found. Description It is a small member of its genus, with a forearm length of . The fur on its back is light brown, with individual hairs tricolored. Dorsal hairs are long. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Slender Broad-nosed Bat
The slender broad-nosed bat (''Platyrrhinus angustirostris'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. As a phyllostomid bat, it is characterized by a narrow uropatagium which is fringed with hair; a white dorsal stripe; large inner upper incisors convergent at the tips; and three upper and three lower molars. It is found in eastern Colombia and Ecuador, north-eastern Peru, and Venezuela. It is closely related to ''Platyrrhinus incarum'' and ''Platyrrhinus fusciventris The brown-bellied broad-nosed bat (''Platyrrhinus fusciventris'') is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae.

Leaf-nosed Bats
The New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) are found from southern North America to South America, specifically from the Southwest United States to northern Argentina. They are ecologically the most varied and diverse family within the order Chiroptera. Most species are insectivorous, but the phyllostomid bats include within their number true predatory species and frugivores (subfamily Stenodermatinae and Carolliinae). For example, the spectral bat (''Vampyrum spectrum''), the largest bat in the Americas, eats vertebrate prey, including small, dove-sized birds. Members of this family have evolved to use food groups such as fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, frogs, other bats, and small vertebrates, and in the case of the vampire bats, even blood. Both the scientific and common names derive from their often large, lance-shaped noses, greatly reduced in some of the nectar- and pollen-feeders. Because these bats echolocate nasally, this "nose-leaf" is thought to serve some role in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
