Davies's big-eared bat, also called the graybeard bat (Glyphonycteris daviesi), is a species of leaf-nosed bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is named after James Noel Davies, born in 1936, who discovered it on the Cambridge University expedition to the rainforest reserve near Bartica in what was then British Guiana. The species can weigh about 30 grams and has a wingspan of up to 50 centimetres, and it is bigger than most Micronycteris bats and is described as fierce, one specimen having chewed its way out of a cloth bag after a small frog was found in its stomach. It is found across tropical Central and South America, from Honduras and Costa Rica to Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago.
