It belongs to the genus Sturnira, the yellow-shouldered bats, within the order Chiroptera and the class Mammalia, and GBIF gives its English common name as Luis's yellow-shouldered bat. Its range runs from Central America into the northern Andes. The IUCN Red List category recorded by GBIF for this species is Least Concern, which means it has not been judged to be at significant risk of extinction.
