Frosted sac-winged bat

Mammals

The frosted sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx canescens) is a bat of the family Emballonuridae found in northern Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela, and possibly Bolivia. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1901, and its type locality is Obidos in the state of Pará, Brazil. It belongs to Saccopteryx, the genus of sac-winged bats that takes its name from the small glandular pouches in the wing. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Neotropical realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented.
