Big crested mastiff bat

Mammals

The big crested mastiff bat, Promops centralis, is a bat of Central and South America. British zoologist Oldfield Thomas described it in 1915 from a holotype collected by George F. Gaumer and passed to him by Osbert Salvin. It is told apart from the only other species of Promops, the brown mastiff bat, by its longer forearm, which exceeds 51.5 millimetres against less than 50 millimetres in the brown mastiff bat, and it has 30 teeth. It is social, roosting by day in small colonies of up to six individuals under tree bark, beneath palm leaves or in tree hollows. Its search calls last about 20.6 milliseconds with a peak frequency of 24.7 kilohertz. The range runs from Mexico and Central America through Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay to Argentina, from sea level to about 1,800 metres.
