White-bellied big-eared bat

Mammals

The white-bellied big-eared bat, scientific name Micronycteris minuta, is a bat species found in South America and Central America, as well as in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone lists it as an accepted species in the genus Micronycteris, in the leaf-nosed bat family Phyllostomidae of the order Chiroptera, described by Gervais in 1856. The English Wikipedia article is a very short stub that gives only its identity and range, and the iNaturalist taxon record adds no conservation status, so this description reports only those facts and makes no claim about its size, diet or habits.
