Vampyriscus nymphaeus

Vampyriscus nymphaeus, also spelled Vampyriscus nymphaea and known commonly as the striped yellow-eared bat, is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae, the leaf-nosed bats. It is native to Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama and Honduras. It is one of three species of the genus Vampyriscus, whose name means small vampire bat; the others are the bidentate yellow-eared bat and Brock's yellow-eared bat. The genus was long treated as a subgenus of Vampyressa, and the English Wikipedia genus article says that the two genera are told apart by the morphology of their bones and teeth and by the pattern of their pelage. GBIF accepts the name Vampyriscus nymphaea, credited to Thomas in 1909, and records its IUCN Red List category as Least Concern.
