Platyrrhinus incarum

Platyrrhinus incarum, the Incan broad-nosed bat, is a fruit-eating bat of the Amazon basin of South America. It was long treated as a subspecies of Heller's broad-nosed bat (Platyrrhinus helleri) and was split from it after phylogenetic and morphometric analysis of the genus; it is the only member of its genus that occurs in Brazil. The range runs from southeastern Colombia and Amazonian Brazil through the Guianas to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and northern and central Bolivia. It lives in humid tropical and subtropical rainforest and also in tropical dry forest and savanna below about 1,200 metres. Three adult males have been found roosting together in a tent made from the leaves of a plant, and pregnant females have been recorded in several months of the year. The species is rated Least Concern.
