The minor long-nosed long-tongued bat is the lesser long-tongued bat, scientific name Choeroniscus minor, also called the lesser long-tailed bat, a bat species from South America. It is small, with a total length of 6 to 7 centimetres and a weight of 7 to 12 grams, a slender elongated muzzle tipped with a triangular nose-leaf, and an extremely long tongue that can reach up to half of its body length and carries a patch of bristles at the tip. It lives in tropical rainforest from the Amazon Basin north to the Guianas and west to Ecuador, Peru and northern Bolivia, is nocturnal, and feeds mainly on nectar and pollen, with a few insects. By day it roosts alone or in small groups close to the ground.
