Cadena's tailless bat

Cadena's tailless bat (Anoura cadenai) is a species of bat native to Colombia. It was described in 2006 as a separate species from the tailed tailless bat species complex; the holotype was collected between Calima and Restrepo in Colombia, and the name honours Alberto Cadena, curator of the mammal collection of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales in Bogota. Its fur is blackish brown and its forearm measures 34 to 37 millimetres. Specimens have been recorded at altitudes between 800 and 1600 metres in Andean forest with mature trees covered by epiphytes, living alongside two other bats of the genus Anoura, A. caudifer and A. cultrata. Its ecology is poorly understood because it was described so recently. It has only been recorded in the Colombian Andes, though it is expected to occur in Ecuador as well, and as of 2017 it is evaluated as a data deficient species.
