Anoura

• Tailed Tailless Bat Anoura caudifer

  

  Anoura caudifer is a small bat ranging from northern South America through Brazil to northwestern Argentina. It has a long, narrow muzzle and an extendable tongue for taking nectar, and occurs in humid tropical forests.

• Geoffroy's Tailless Bat Anoura geoffroyi

  

  This bat is brown above and gray-brown below, sometimes with silvery gray on the neck and shoulders. It eats fruit, nectar, pollen, and insects.

• Tschudi's Tailless Bat Anoura peruana

  

  This nectar-feeding bat occurs in the Andes. A 2019 study in the La Paz Valley found pollen and fecal evidence suggesting that it feeds on 14 locally native or cultivated plant species. That evidence comes from one Bolivian valley.

• Ecuadorian Tailless Bat Anoura aequatoris

  This small bat has no tail. A mammal guide for El Oro Province describes brown-to-cinnamon fur with a paler underside. It also reports a diet of nectar, pollen, fruit, and small insects.

• Cadena's Tailless Bat Anoura cadenai

  This bat is recorded from the southwestern Colombian Andes. It has short, dark brown fur and no externally visible tail.

• Handley's Tailless Bat Anoura cultrata

  Handley's tailless bat has upper canines that meet enlarged blade-like lower teeth. It is recorded at mid elevations from Central America into the Andes and belongs to a nectar-feeding genus.

• Tube-lipped Nectar Bat Anoura fistulata

  This bat is recorded from the Ecuadorian Andes. Its lower lip forms a projecting tube, and the tongue of fresh specimens measured 6–8 cm. By comparing diets of sympatric Anoura species, the authors proposed that it may visit flowers with long corollas.

• Peruvian Tailless Bat Anoura javieri

  This tailless bat is known from upper montane forest in Manu Biosphere Reserve, Peru. A specialist paper also raises the possibility that its range extends into Bolivia.

• Broad-toothed Tailless Bat Anoura latidens

  This nectar-feeding bat is known from scattered localities in South America. Its skull is described as having a relatively short snout and nearly parallel upper tooth rows.

• Luis Manuel's Tailless Bat Anoura luismanueli

  It is a small bat with a narrow snout, long tongue, soft reddish-brown fur, and a very short visible tail. It is thought to feed on nectar and uses caves as daytime refuges.

• Geoffroy's Tailless Bat Anoura geoffroyi

  This bat is brown above and gray-brown below, sometimes with silvery gray on the neck and shoulders. It eats fruit, nectar, pollen, and insects.
