Cadena's long-tongued bat

Cadena's long-tongued bat (Hsunycteris cadenai) is a bat of the leaf-nosed bat family Phyllostomidae, known from Colombia and Ecuador in northwestern South America. It was formally described in 2006 by the mammalogists Neal Woodman and Robert M. Timm, who placed it in the genus Lonchophylla, a group of nectar-feeding bats. In 2014 a study of paraphyletic assemblages within the subfamily Lonchophyllinae erected the new genus Hsunycteris, and the species was moved into it, so it appears in older literature as Lonchophylla cadenai. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as Data Deficient, meaning there is too little information to judge how threatened it is.
