Orcés's long-tongued bat

Orcés's long-tongued bat (Lonchophylla orcesi) is a species of leaf-nosed bat found only in Ecuador. It was described as a new species in 2005 from a holotype collected in 1985, and its name honours Gustavo Orcés, described as a pioneer of Ecuadorian research on vertebrates. It is one of the larger species in the genus Lonchophylla, with a forearm length of 47 millimetres and a weight of 22 grams. Its back fur is pale brown and its belly fur is a paler, yellowish-gray brown, while the nose-leaf, ears, tragi and uropatagium are blackish. The single known individual was collected in the Cotacachi Cayapas Ecological Reserve, in very humid pre-montane forest, and as of 2015 the holotype remained the only documented animal, so the IUCN evaluates the species as data deficient.
