Adriana's yellow-shouldered bat

Mammals

Adriana's yellow-shouldered bat, Sturnira adrianae, is a fruit-eating leaf-nosed bat of the northern Andes, described in 2017 by Molinari and colleagues from a site in Barinas state, Venezuela, at 1,560 metres. The Mammal Diversity Database lists Colombia and Venezuela. The handbook account says it lives in evergreen, deciduous and cloud forest at 60 to 2,400 metres, most often between 1,000 and 2,000 metres, and recognises a nominate form across the Venezuelan mountains and a second form, caripana, in the north-east. It is nocturnal, an obligate frugivore feeding mainly on Solanum and Piper, with a head and body of 55 to 85 millimetres and 19 to 35 grams. The IUCN has not assessed it.
