Head-body 48-64 mm, tail 30-49 mm, ear 12-15 mm, hindfoot 5:6-11 mm, forearm 36-42-5 mm; weight 7-14 g. Females are larger than males. Dorsal hairs of the Argentine Serotine are bicolored, with blackish to dark brown bases and dark brown to yellowish brown tips; color of dorsal fur depends on season and habitat. Ventral hairs have dark brown bases and yellowish brown to whitish tips, sometimes washed with gray. Membranes are naked and dark brown to blackish. Ventral side of uropatagium is grayish, with scattered whitish hairs. Ears are dark brown, mediums-sized, and well separated, with rounded tips; tragus is long and pointed. Nose is broad. Skull is robust; rostrum is flattened, sloping upward to braincase; sagittal crest is poorly developed but visible; lambdoidal crest is visible; basisphenoid pits are absent; zygomatic arches are thin, strong, and slightly widened medially; pterygoids are well developed; and tympanic bullae are large.

Chromosomal complement has 2n = 50 and FN = 48, with acrocentric autosomes, large submetacentric X-chromosome, and small acrocentric Y-chromosome.	Wide variety of habitats including evergreen forests, cloud forests, deciduous forests, riparian forests, temperate forests, savannas, swamps, and orchards from sea level up to elevations of ¢. 1800 m . The Argentine Serotine is commonly associated with water surfaces and moist habitats, but it is also known from drier habitats (e.g. shrubtree savanna and thorn-scrub associations).	The Argentine Serotine is insectivorous. At dusk, it has slow and erratic flight, with circular paths 6-9 m high and c.15-30 m in diameter. Later in the night, individuals fly low and at high speeds in open areas. Insects are captured over and through treetops and over streams and ponds.	Pregnant Argentine Serotines with two embryos each were captured in April-May in Central America; pregnant females were also captured in January, March, and June in Central America and South America. Lactating females were captured in February, late May, late July, and August in Central America and South America. Newborns were observed in August andJanuary in Central America and South America. Available data suggest that breeding pattern is bimodal, with gestation of little more than two months and litter sizes of 1-2; parturition takes place during warmer months. Copulation occurs in May-June, and sperm is stored for 2-3 months before fertilization occurs. First pregnancies occur in July-November, and second pregnancies occur immediately after the first parturition during postpartum estrus. Second litter is born in January.	Argentine Serotines are nocturnal. Individuals were observed flying right after sunset. Roosts have been found under loose bark and in hollow trees, holes in standing snags, caves, and buildings. They probably do not hibernate, but daily torpor possibly occurs. Echolocation calls are FM and sweep down from ¢.56 kHz to 35-45 kHz. Calls have durations of 5-9 milliseconds, mean interpulse interval of c.140 milliseconds, and frequency of maximum energy of c¢.40 kHz.	The Argentine Serotine is usually found in colonies of 10-20 individuals, but colonies of 100 and even 100,000 individuals ( Mexico ) have been reported. It will share roosts with Jamaican Fruit-eating Bats (Artibeusjamaicensis), Great Fruit-eating Bats (A. lituratus), Toltec Fruit-eating Bats (A. toltecus), Little Yellow-shouldered Bats (Sturnira lilium), Common Vampire Bats (Desmodus rotundus), Black-winged Little Yellow Bats ( Rhogeessa tumida ), and Mexican Dog-faced Bats ( Cynomops mexicanus ).	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Argentine Serotine is widely distributed and locally common, occurs in protected areas, has a presumably large population, and seems to be tolerant to some degree of habitat modification.

Biology poorly detailed because of it being found in a variety of habitats, including roosts in trees and houses. Mostly found in moist habitats, but also crossing roads, in orchards, as well as drier habitats like the Brazilian Cerrado, shrub-tree savannah and thorn-scrub associations (Mies et al.  1996). It is an aerial insectivor, stomach contents consist of finely chopped insect remains (Mies et al.  1996).	Because of its large geographic range, and rather independece of specific habitats, the species has no known ;threats.	The species is common and widespread. Apparently, it doesn't show a preference for specific habitats and can use a wide variety of roosts, including man-made structures like roofs, buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc. Usually forming small colonies, of 10-20 individuals.	Unknown	The species occurs from north Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Uruguay, Brazil, and the Guianas east to Peru and north to Jalisco and Tamaulipas (Mexico) (Simmons 2005). ;Five subspecies are recognized through its geographic distribution (Davis 1966, Mies et al.  1996, but see Simmons and Voss 1998).		Terrestrial	Recent changes in its taxonomic definition (Simmons and Voss 1998) make necessary to promote a comprehensive taxonomic review of its subspecies. Existing data on its ecology and reproduction might include taxa no longer under this specific definition. The species is found in several protected areas through its geographic range.
