The Yemeni trident leaf-nosed bat, Triaenops parvus, is a small bat of the Arabian Peninsula, documented in Yemen and Oman. Petr Benda and Peter Vallo described it as a new species in 2009; before that it had been treated as part of the rufous trident bat. Its name parvus is Latin for small, chosen because it is extraordinarily small compared with the other species of Triaenops, and it is the smallest member of the genus, with a forearm 44.7 to 48.1 millimetres long and fur that is beige or brownish gray. The type locality is the oasis of Hawf in Al Mahra, at the eastern edge of Yemen. In 2017 the IUCN evaluated it as Data Deficient, because little is known of its range and biology, though its known range is restricted.
