Mammals

The northern sword-nosed bat (Lonchorhina inusitata) is a bat species of the family Phyllostomidae, the leaf-nosed bats, in the order Chiroptera and the class Mammalia. It belongs to the genus Lonchorhina and was named by Handley and Ochoa in 1997, according to the authority recorded in the GBIF backbone taxonomy. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela. The English Wikipedia article on the species is a one-sentence stub, so the sources used here record its identity, its classification and its range but nothing about its diet, roosting habits, size or conservation status.
