Greater ghost bat

Mammals

The greater ghost bat (Diclidurus ingens) is a bat of the family Emballonuridae and the genus Diclidurus, the ghost bats, a group whose members have white or very pale fur. It lives in northern South America, and the English Wikipedia article places it in northwestern Brazil, southeastern Colombia, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela, while the Mammal Diversity Database lists Brazil, Colombia, Guyana and Venezuela. Jorge Ignacio Hernández-Camacho described the species in 1955, and its type locality is Puerto Leguízamo in Colombia. The Mammal Diversity Database records its IUCN Red List status as Not Evaluated. Very little else about its biology has been written up, so its diet, roosting habits and population size remain to be documented.
