Insular single leaf bat

Mammals

The insular single leaf bat (Monophyllus plethodon), also called the Lesser Antillean long-tongued bat, is a leaf-nosed bat found across the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. It was described as a new species in 1900 by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr., from a holotype collected by P. McDonough in Saint Michael, Barbados. Three subspecies are recognised, one of which, the Puerto Rican long-nosed bat, is extinct. It is a large member of its genus and can be told from similar species by its crowded upper premolars. The forearm measures about 38.8 to 45.7 millimetres, the body is 67 to 84 millimetres long, the tail is 8 to 16 millimetres long and the bat weighs roughly 12.5 to 17.2 grams. It occurs widely through the island chain, from Anguilla and Antigua and Barbuda south to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, at elevations from sea level to about 550 metres, using forests and agricultural landscapes.
