MacConnell's bat

Mammals

MacConnell's bat (Mesophylla macconnelli) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae, the New World leaf-nosed bats, found in South America and Central America. It was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1901 and is the only species in its genus, Mesophylla, which makes that genus monotypic. English Wikipedia lists it among the bats of Brazil and Central America and the mammals of Colombia, and the IUCN Red List assessment cited in that article's infobox places it in the Least Concern category. The source article is a short stub, so little more about its biology is stated here.
