Least big-eared bat

Mammals

The least big-eared bat (Neonycteris pusilla) is a bat species of the family Phyllostomidae, found in northwestern Brazil and eastern Colombia. English Wikipedia notes that it is the only species within its genus, Neonycteris, which makes that genus monotypic. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name and cites it to Sanborn, 1949, and the GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category lists it as Data Deficient, meaning the available information is too limited to assess how threatened it is. The sources read do not describe its diet, roosting habits or population size, so this entry records only its classification, its range across the two countries and its conservation category.
