Lesser spear-nosed bat

Mammals

The lesser spear-nosed bat (Phyllostomus elongatus) is a bat species in the genus Phyllostomus, which sits in the family Phyllostomidae. English Wikipedia lists it in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela, a wide range across northern and western South America. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name and credits the original description to Geoffroy, 1810, so the species has been known to science for more than two centuries. The GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category lists it as Least Concern, the lowest level of concern on the IUCN scale. The sources read do not describe its diet, roosting habits or population size, so none are stated here.
