Patricia's disk-winged bat

Patricia's disk-winged bat (Thyroptera wynneae) is a species of disk-winged bat in the family Thyropteridae, found in South America. It was described as a new species in 2014 from a holotype collected in Peru in 2012, and its name honours Patricia J. Wynne, an artist in residence at the American Museum of Natural History's Department of Mammalogy. The bat has a short, narrow snout and a globular braincase, long woolly light brown fur and dark brown flight membranes, and oblong adhesive disks on its thumbs and feet. It has 38 teeth. It lives in lowland areas between about 55 and 300 metres in Peru and Brazil, and as of 2016 the IUCN evaluated it as Data Deficient.
