Benkeith's short-tailed bat (Carollia benkeithi leaf-nosed bat species found in Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.[2] chestnut short-tailed bat , and the two species are likely often confused.[2]
Taxonomy and etymology [ edit ]
Benkeith's short-tailed bat was described as a new species in 2006. The holotype had been collected in 1983, 2 km (1.2 mi ) to the south of Tingo María, Peru .[3] eponym for the species name "benkeithi " was Ben E. Keith , who donated $5 million to Texas Tech University .[4]
Description [ edit ]
Benkeith's short-tailed bat is a relatively small species of short-tailed fruit bat . It has a forearm length of 33.7–37.2 mm (1.33–1.46 in ) and a head and body length of 52–68 mm (2.0–2.7 in ). The fur on its back is chestnut brown, while its belly fur is a dull, grayish-brown.[3]
Biology and ecology [ edit ]
Based on stable isotope analysis , it likely consumes a considerable amount of insects in addition to plant material such as fruit.[5]
Range and habitat [ edit ]
Benkeith's short-tailed bat is found in northeastern Bolivia, eastern Peru, and western Brazil. In Brazil, it is uncommon within the central Amazon basin .[2]
