Pale brown long-nosed bat

Mammals

The pale brown long-nosed bat (Lichonycteris degener) is a species of leaf-nosed bat in the family Phyllostomidae, in the order Chiroptera, with the species name credited to Miller, 1931. It is found in the Andes from Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, at elevations of 50 to 900 metres, and most specimens have been observed in dense forests. It is apparently gregarious and lives in social groups, and it mostly eats nectar and insects. It was formerly thought to belong to the dark long-tongued bat (Lichonycteris obscura) but is now recognised as a separate species. It is rare locally, which may only reflect how little is known of its ecology. It was rated Least Concern in the IUCN Red List assessment of July 2016, although the threats to it are not well known.
