The Amazonian sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx gymnura) is a bat species of the family Emballonuridae from South America.[3] It is found in northern Brazil, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and possibly Venezuela.[1]
Taxonomy and etymology
It was described as a new species in 1901 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas.[2] Thomas identified "Mr. Wickham" as the collector of the holotype, possibly referring to British explorer Henry Wickham who also collected bird specimens in South America.[4] Wickham collected the holotype in Santarém along the Amazon River.[2] The species name "gymnura" is from Ancient Greek "gumnós" meaning "naked" and "ourá" meaning "tail." Thomas wrote, "the nakedness of the interfemoral [membrane] will readily distinguish this bat from any of its allies."[2]
Biology and ecology
It is insectivorous, catching its prey in the air.[1]
Range and habitat
This bat inhabits humid tropical forests. It is found in several countries and territories in northern South America, including Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.[1]
Conservation
It is currently evaluated as data deficient by the IUCN. It is uncommonly encountered and its range is not clearly defined.[1]
