Miller's long-tongued bat (Glossophaga longirostris bat species found in northern Brazil , Venezuela , Colombia , Guyana , Trinidad and Tobago , Grenada , the Netherlands Antilles and the U.S. Virgin Islands .[1] [2]
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Miller's long-tongued bat was described as a new species in 1898 by American zoologist Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. . The holotype had been collected in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of Colombia by Wilmot W. Brown Jr. .[3] [4]
Description [ edit ]
Glossophaga species are small, with average forearm lengths ranging from 31–42 mm (1.2–1.7 in ). Miller's long-tongued bat has a braincase that is equivalent in length to its snout , whereas other members of the genus have a shorter snout relative to the braincase. Its dental formula is 2.1.2.3 2.1.3.3 [4] oz ), while nonpregnant females weigh 12.81 g (0.452 oz ).[5]
Biology [ edit ]
Miller's long-tongued bat is nectarivorous , with cacti blossoms as an important food source.[6] [5] [4] [6]
Range and habitat [ edit ]
Miller's long-tongued bat is found in the following countries and territories: Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, the Netherlands Antilles, Guyana, Brazil, and Ecuador. In the Lesser Antilles its range extends northwards to St. Vincent. They roost in caves, houses, and rock crevices.[4]
