• Heller's Broad-nosed Bat Platyrrhinus helleri

  This broad-nosed bat is recorded from Mexico through Central America to northern South America west of the Andes. A 2010 revision separated species from the older broad P. helleri complex.

• Incan Broad-nosed Bat Platyrrhinus incarum

  A broad-nosed bat occurring east of the Andes. Records from Brazil’s Cerrado and Pantanal were confirmed as P. incarum rather than P. helleri.

• Buffy Broad-nosed Bat Platyrrhinus infuscus
