Mono's short-tailed bat

Mono's short-tailed bat (Carollia monohernandezi), also called Hernandez's short-tailed bat, is a leaf-nosed bat of the family Phyllostomidae that is known from very few records. One source reports it from Colombia and Panama in habitats ranging from dry to tropical rain forest between 30 and 2,660 metres, while the Handbook of the Mammals of the World treats it as known only from its type locality near Florencia in southeastern Colombia. It is a medium-sized, dark brown bat with a short tail, a forearm near 39 millimetres and a short noseleaf. Its taxonomic validity is still in question, because most of the original paratypes were later identified as two other short-tailed bats and genetic study is needed. Fruit is expected to be its main food, though nothing specific is recorded.
