The ghost-faced bat ranges from the southern United States through Central America to northern South America. It roosts in caves by day and emerges in the evening to hunt large moths and insects.
Its coat ranges from reddish brown to dark brown. The large, rounded ears join across the forehead, and leaf-like appendages project from the chin.
It roosts in groups in caves by day, though individuals do not pack tightly together. In the evening it hunts large moths and insects, often flying over standing water.
