De Vivo's disk-winged bat

Mammals

De Vivo's disk-winged bat (Thyroptera devivoi) is a species of disk-winged bat in the family Thyropteridae, found in South America. It was described as a new species in 2006, the fourth species named in its genus and family, from a holotype collected in 2000 near the Serra Geral do Tocantins Ecological Station in Brazil. It is a small bat with a head and body length of about 38 to 46 millimetres, a forearm of 36 to 38 millimetres and a tail of about 25 to 29 millimetres, with cinnamon brown fur whose underside looks frosted. It is known from Guyana and Brazil, where it lives in the Cerrado and other savanna ecosystems, and it was recorded in Colombia for the first time in 2015. The IUCN evaluates it as Data Deficient, because as of 2015 it was known from only four specimens. The species name honours Mario de Vivo, and it may prove to be a complex of more than one species.
