Diclidurus
''Diclidurus'' is a genus of bats whose common name is the ghost bats (not to be confused with the Australia ''Macroderma gigas''). ''Diclidurus'' all inhabit tropical South America, and ''D. albus'' is also found in Mexico and Central America.Emmons, L.H (1997). ''Neotropical Rainforest Mammals.'' 2nd edition. The fur of these insectivorous bats is white, sometimes with a slight greyish tinge, except ''D. isabella'', which is partially pale brown. The only other all-white bat in the New World is the Honduran white bat, but it is easily distinguished from ''Diclidurus'' by its relatively large nose leaf. ''Diclidurus'' are poorly known and only infrequently captured, at least in part because they fly high above the ground or in the forest canopy (above the typical height of mist nets used by bat researchers).Ferreira, A.P.; D.C. Melo; and A. Loures-Ribeiro (2013). ''Diclidurus albus Wied-Neuwied, 1820 (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae): First record of the species in the state of ParaĆ ...
