Western long-tongued bat

The western long-tongued bat (Glossophaga morenoi) is a bat in the family Phyllostomidae that is endemic to southern Mexico. Its range runs from Chiapas in the southeast to Tlaxcala in the northeast and Michoacán in the west, across tropical dry forest, shrubland and dry pine-oak forest, mostly from sea level up to about 300 metres and occasionally as high as 1,500 metres. It roosts in caves, tree hollows, culverts, wells and buildings. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility records three subspecies, morenoi, brevirostris and mexicana, gives its type locality as the Rio Guamol in Oaxaca, and lists a global IUCN Red List assessment of Least Concern. Taxonomic notes there explain that the form mexicana has been folded into this species, a treatment that earlier authors handled in different ways.
