Puerto Rican flower bat

The Puerto Rican flower bat (Phyllonycteris major) is an extinct species of leaf-nosed bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It was native to Puerto Rico and is known only from subfossil skeletal material. It was described by Harold Anthony in 1917 from remains found in Cueva Catedral near Morovis, which is its type locality, and Mammal Species of the World places it in the subgenus Phyllonycteris of the genus Phyllonycteris, in the subfamily Phyllonycterinae. That reference records that the 2003 IUCN assessment and the IUCN and Species Survival Commission action plan of 2001 both listed it as extinct, a status that the current Red List infobox of its English Wikipedia article also gives. No living animal has been recorded, so what is known of the species comes from bones recovered in caves on the island.
