Rhogeessa

• Yucatan Yellow Bat Rhogeessa aenea

  

  This small bat is recorded mainly in the lowlands of the Yucatan Peninsula. A Mexican biodiversity profile describes sex-related ear features and records from forests, farmland, and built-up places.

• Slender Yellow Bat Rhogeessa gracilis

  

  The Slender Yellow Bat is a small bat recorded in Mexico. Current taxonomic references use Baeodon gracilis for the taxon previously called Rhogeessa gracilis.

• Southern Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa io

  

  The southern little yellow bat is a small aerial insectivore. It has been recorded hunting flying insects along forest trails, in clearings, and over water, but the boundaries of this broadly defined taxon remain under review.

• Black-winged Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa tumida

  

  The black-winged little yellow bat ranges from southern Mexico into northern Central America. The edges of its range remain uncertain.

• Allen's Yellow Bat Rhogeessa alleni

  This small bat is endemic to Mexico. Specimens from Hidalgo State had bands of brown, buff, and gray in the dorsal hairs and were recorded in tropical dry scrub and riverine forest.

• Bickham's Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa bickhami

  Bickham's little yellow bat is a small species recorded in Pacific coastal plains and inland valleys of Central America. The original paper also reports records in riverine forest and vegetation near farmsteads in otherwise dry regions.

• Genoways’s Yellow Bat Rhogeessa genowaysi

  This small bat is known from only two nearby sites in the Pacific lowlands of southern Chiapas, Mexico. It flies beneath the forest canopy and begins searching for insects soon after sunset.

• Husson's Yellow Bat Rhogeessa hussoni

  One Peruvian specimen had golden-brown fur with darker tips and raised pads above the muzzle. The authors say genetic and chromosome studies are needed to confirm its identification.

• Menchu's Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa menchuae

  Menchu's little yellow bat is a small bat recorded in Guatemala and Honduras. The original paper reports captures in tall tropical rainforest on the humid Atlantic side.

• Little Desert Bat Rhogeessa minutilla

  This small bat occurs in northern South America. Its pale yellowish-buff fur is a useful identification clue.

• Least Yellow Bat Rhogeessa mira

  The least yellow bat is known from a very limited area in Michoacán, Mexico. It has yellowish fur and feeds on insects.

• Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa parvula

  This small bat has yellowish-looking dorsal fur. Records come from Mexico's Pacific coast and the Marías Islands, and roosts include caves and tree hollows.

• Black-winged Little Yellow Bat Rhogeessa tumida

  The black-winged little yellow bat ranges from southern Mexico into northern Central America. The edges of its range remain uncertain.

• Slender Yellow Bat Rhogeessa gracilis

  The Slender Yellow Bat is a small bat recorded in Mexico. Current taxonomic references use Baeodon gracilis for the taxon previously called Rhogeessa gracilis.
