Greater broad-nosed bat

The greater broad-nosed bat, Platyrrhinus vittatus, is a bat of the family Phyllostomidae, the New World leaf-nosed bats, placed in the genus Platyrrhinus and the subfamily Stenodermatinae. Wilhelm Peters described it in 1859 under the name Artibeus vittatus, from a holotype collected at Puerto Cabello in Carabobo, Venezuela. English Wikipedia reports it from Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela, while the Mammal Diversity Database lists Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, so the two sources differ slightly on its range. It belongs to the Neotropical realm, is recorded as living and found in the wild, and is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
