Balantiopteryx is a genus of sac-winged bats. [1] It comprises three species:
Emballonuridae is a family of microbats, many of which are referred to as sac-winged or sheath-tailed bats. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The earliest fossil records are from the Eocene.
The greater sac-winged bat is a bat of the family Emballonuridae native to Central and South America.
The northern ghost bat is a bat species from South America, Trinidad, and Central America. It is a relatively rare, completely white, insectivorous bat, with an unusual sac at the base of its tail.
The lesser dog-like bat, also known as Peters' sac-winged bat, is a species of bat from South and Central America. First described in 1826, it was renamed in 1843 because the original scientific name was already in use for another species.
Saccopteryx is a genus of sac-winged bats from Central and South America. The species within this genus are:
The Ecuadorian sac-winged bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the population trend is decreasing for this species, due to habitat destruction through deforestation. In 2013, Bat Conservation International listed this species as one of the 35 species of its worldwide priority list of conservation.
The gray sac-winged bat is a species in the family Emballonuridae which comprises the 51 species of sac-winged bats. It is found in Mexico from Baja California Sur and Sonora to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and northern Colombia, at elevations up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft).
The chestnut sac-winged bat, or Wagner's sac-winged bat is a species of sac-winged bat native to South and Central America. It is the only species within its genus.
The small Asian sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in Borneo, Sulawesi, and the Philippines.
Emballonura is a genus of sac-winged bats in the family Emballonuridae. It contains these species:
The large-eared sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The greater sheath-tailed bat or New Guinea sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is endemic to New Guinea and some nearby islands. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The lesser sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and many other parts of the Indonesian Archipelago. It is locally threatened by habitat loss.
Raffray's sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands.
Seri's sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in the Bismarck Archipelago and Yapen Island (Indonesia). Its natural habitat is caves.
The Indonesian tomb bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found only in Indonesia.
Hamilton's tomb bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in Chad, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and moist savanna. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Hildegarde's tomb bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found near the coast in Kenya and Tanzania where it feeds in tropical dry forests and roosts in caves. It is a diurnal species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being endangered. The specific name hildegardeae was given in honour of anthropologist Hildegarde Beatrice Hinde.
Theobald's tomb bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The Thomas's shaggy bat is a bat species from South America. It was previously included in the shaggy bat but Simmons and Handley (1998) showed that the species were distinct.
