Greater yellow-shouldered bat

The greater yellow-shouldered bat (Sturnira magna) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and Mammal Species of the World also lists western Brazil. The species was described by de la Torre in 1966 from a specimen collected on the Rio Maniti at Santa Cecilia near Iquitos in the Peruvian region of Loreto, which is its type locality. It belongs to the genus Sturnira, in the subgenus Sturnira, within the subfamily Stenodermatinae of the leaf-nosed bats. That reference points to the study of Tamsitt and Hauser from 1985 for its description. The infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives its current IUCN Red List status as Least Concern, based on an assessment made in 2015.
