Honrovits tsuwape is an extinct bat described in 1992 by K. C. Beard, B. Sigé and L. Krishtalka in a paper titled A primitive vespertilionoid bat from the early Eocene of central Wyoming. It is the only species of the genus Honrovits, which was named for it by monotypy. The GBIF Backbone Taxonomy accepts the species and places it in the family Natalidae, the funnel-eared bats, which is why it belongs to this partition of the atlas. Its family placement is not agreed across sources, because Wikispecies lists the genus Honrovits under the extinct family Onychonycteridae instead. The paper title places the fossils in the early Eocene of central Wyoming. The sources read for this entry give no account of the animal's appearance, diet or habits, so none is described here.
