    This nectar-feeding bat is recorded in Colombia and Ecuador. A 2022 study reported a specimen collected in primary forest in the Colombian Chocó and confirmed diagnostic projections at the back of the skull.

    This nectar bat is known from lowland Amazonian Peru. The species treatment lists records only from its type locality in the Yavarí–Ucayali interfluvial region.

    This bat has a reddish-brown back and was recorded in forest in southeastern Peru. The original paper used the name Lonchophylla pattoni; the current Mammal Diversity Database page uses Hsunycteris pattoni.
