Commissaris's long-tongued bat

Commissaris's long-tongued bat (Glossophaga commissarisi) is a bat species of Central and South America, found from southern Mexico to Panama and also in Guyana. It lives in the lowlands and up to 2,400 metres above sea level, in habitats that range from tropical to sub-tropical. The source gives its length as 43 to 65 millimetres and its average weight as 9.3 to 9.5 grams. Its colour varies from dark and light brown to reddish brown, and the species shows no sexual dimorphism. It has a long tongue covered with bristle-like papillae, the adaptation that gives the long-tongued bats their name. The English Wikipedia article on this species is short, so this entry records only what that article supports.
