Saccopteryx Bilineata
The greater sac-winged bat (''Saccopteryx bilineata'') is a bat of the family Emballonuridae native to Central and South America. They are the most common bats seen in the rainforest, as they often roost on the outside of large trees. They are insectivores and use echolocation calls through the mouth to track their prey, which includes flies, beetles, butterflies and moths. The long nose and upper lip are highly mobile and can shift upward to enlarge the mouth opening. left, Close-up of male wing pouch left, Close-up of a greater sac-winged bat The term "sac-winged" refers to small pouches on the wings. These sacs are used by males to attract females and to mark their harem territory. During daily grooming, males will fill these sacs with drops of urine and glandular secretions. During displays for females, the male will hover in front of the female and fan her vigorously to expose her to the scent of the mixture in the wing sacs. Males will also shake the contents of t ...

Saccopteryx Leptura
The lesser sac-winged bat or lesser white-lined bat (''Saccopteryx leptura'') is a bat species of the family Emballonuridae from South America, South and Middle America (Americas), Middle America. Description The lesser white-lined bat belongs to the genus ''Saccopteryx''. The bat is characterized by white stripes that run longitudinally down its back starting at the shoulders. Its pelage is typically brown and the bats are roughly in length. It is similar in appearance to ''Rhynchonycteris naso'' but is slightly smaller and with paler fur. Additionally, ''R. naso'' has white fur on its antebrachium which ''S. leptura'' does not. The lesser white-lined bat also has a characteristic odiferous gland on the distal portion of its arm. The gland opens up to the dorsal part of the wing. This opening is larger in the males than in the females. This species is sexually dimorphic, the female being larger than the male.

Sac-winged Bat
Emballonuridae is a family of microbats, many of which are referred to as sac-winged or sheath-tailed bats. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The earliest fossil records are from the Eocene. Description The emballonurids include some of the smallest of all bats, and range from 3.5 to 10 cm in body length. They are generally brown or grey, although the species of genus ''Diclidurus'' are white. The faces are said to be handsome, the heads being comparable to those of domestic dogs, and their wings are long and narrow. As with other microchiropteran families, they use ultrasonic echolocation to sense the surrounding environment and their prey; the signals of some species are unusual in being audible to humans. Possession of the postorbital processes, the reduced, noncontacting premaxillaries, and rather simple shoulder and elbow joints, which is similar to pteropodids, makes them rather a primitive group. However, they are mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antioquian Sac-winged Bat
The Antioquian sac-winged bat (''Saccopteryx antioquensis'') is a species of bat in the family Emballonuridae found in Colombia. Discovery The species name ''antioquensis'' is in reference to the Colombian state of Antioquia. The only two individuals of this species ever encountered were both found in Eastern Antioquia. The species was first discovered in March 1996, when an adult male was discovered on the wall of a church in the Colombian municipality of Sonsón. The second individual discovered was also an adult male, which was encountered in April 1996. That specimen was located near San Luis, Colombia, near a karst formation.Muñoz, J., & Cuartas, C. A. (2001)Saccopteryx antioquensis n. sp.(Chiroptera: Emballonuridae) del noroeste de Colombia Actualidades Biológicas, 23(75), 53-61. Description This bat is medium-sized for its genus. Its forearm measures . It has a total body length of . Its tail is long. Its ears are long. It has a dental formula of . Their teeth are ove ...

Saccopteryx Gymnura
The Amazonian sac-winged bat (''Saccopteryx gymnura'') is a bat species of the family Emballonuridae native to South America. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1901 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas identified "Mr. Wickham" as the collector of the holotype, possibly referring to British explorer Henry Wickham who also collected bird specimens in South America. Wickham collected the holotype in Santarém along the Amazon River. The species name "''gymnura''" is from Ancient Greek "'' gumnós''" meaning "naked" and "'' ourá''" meaning "tail." Thomas wrote, "the nakedness of the interfemoral embranewill readily distinguish this bat from any of its allies." Biology and ecology It is insectivorous, catching its prey in the air and inhabits tropical rainforests. It is found in several countries and territories in northern South America, including Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. It is uncommonly encountered and its range is not cle ...
