Short-headed broad-nosed bat

Mammals

The short-headed broad-nosed bat, Platyrrhinus brachycephalus, is a bat species found across northern South America, in Bolivia, northwestern Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. It was described by Stanley Rouk and Dilford Carter in 1972 and belongs to the genus Platyrrhinus. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that lists its range and naming authority and says nothing about its habitat, diet or population, so none of those are claimed here.
