The big red bat (Lasiurus egregius) is a species of vesper bat from South and Central America.

Taxonomy

It was described as a new species in 1870 by German naturalist Wilhelm Peters. Peters placed it in the now-defunct genus Atalpha, with a binomial of Atalpha egregia.[1] The holotype was collected in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina[1] by Hermann Burmeister.[2]

Description

It has black flight membranes and its fur is a consistent shade of red over its entire body.[3] Two individuals captured in Honduras had forearm lengths of Шаблон:Cvt and body weights of Шаблон:Cvt. Its ear length is approximately Шаблон:Cvt.[4] Its wingspan is approximately Шаблон:Cvt.[5]

Range and habitat

The big red bat is found in Central and South America. Its range includes Panama, Brazil, French Guiana,[6] and Suriname.[5] In 1998, the species was documented in Honduras for the first time. This marked a Шаблон:Cvt extension of the species' range from the previously known northern limit.[4]

Conservation

This species is infrequently encountered. The capture of two individuals in Honduras in 1998 marked the fifth and sixth individuals ever documented.[4] Due to the lack of information on its ecology, geographic extent, population size, and threats it faces, the IUCN lists this species as data deficient as of 2016.[6]
