Yates's big-eared bat, Micronycteris yatesi, is a species of leaf-nosed bat found in Bolivia. It belongs to the genus Micronycteris, the big-eared bats, within the family Phyllostomidae and the order Chiroptera. The GBIF taxonomic backbone lists the name as accepted and credits Siles and Brooks with the description in 2013, which makes it a very recently recognised species. The short sources used for this entry say nothing further about its habitat, diet, roosting habits or conservation status, so those facts remain open for later research rather than being guessed.
