Sanborn's bonneted bat (Eumops hansae) is a small bat of South and Central America, also called the Hansa bonneted bat after Colonia Hansa in Brazil, where the specimen used to describe it was collected. It is one of the smaller bonneted bats, about 10 centimetres long including the tail and weighing 13 to 17 grams, with rich blackish-brown fur that is paler on the belly, which separates it from the similarly sized dwarf bonneted bats of the same region. Other features are narrow wing tips, well-developed back teeth and a higher jaw joint than its close relatives, and, as in other molossid bats, a tail that extends beyond the wing membranes. It is patchily distributed across Central America and the southernmost tip of Mexico and across northern South America east of the Andes, living in lowland tropical evergreen forest below about 320 metres. It feeds on orthopterans and other insects caught high in the forest canopy, roosts in tree cavities, and has no recognised subspecies.
