The white-winged dog-like bat (Peropteryx leucoptera) is a bat of the family Emballonuridae found in northern Brazil, southeastern Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, eastern Peru, Suriname and Venezuela; the Mammal Diversity Database also lists Bolivia. Wilhelm Peters described it in 1867, and its type locality is Suriname. It is one of the dog-like bats of the genus Peropteryx, whose members share a long hairless snout. The Mammal Diversity Database records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern and places it in the Neotropical realm. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented.
