The Buffy Flower Batis very similar to the Brown Flower Bat ( FE. bombifrons ); most obvious difference is probably the more gently sloping rostrum of the Buffy Flower Bat, which is also more variable in dorsal color. Fur is short and silky, chestnut-brown dorsally and beige ventrally, and lighter on face and head. Hairs are white at bases and brown attips. Flight membranes and ears are light brown and devoid of hair. Snout is elongated and contains long protrusible tongue, rather thick compared to that of Leach’s Single-leaf Bat ( Monophyllus redmani ). Noseleaf is clearly defined, but it is much shorter and rudimentary than in most phyllostomids, and median split occurs on lowerlip. Vestigial calcar measures 1-2 mm and distinguishes the Buffy Flower Bat from the sympatric Cuban Flower Bat ( Phyllonycteris poey). Braincase rises abruptly from rostral plane, and zygomatic arches are complete. Diploid number 1s 2n = 32; all autosomes are biarmed, and most are metacentric and submetacentric. Xchromosome is largest, and Y-chromosome is minute. Testes are 2:5—4-5 mm.	Xeric and mesic habitats, including coffee, coconut, and banana plantations; over rivers; and along edges of sparse forests and pastures.	Of 30 stomachs of Buffy Flower Bats from Cuba , 23 contained only pollen, four had pollen and insects, and three had pollen and seeds of the bromeliad Hohenbergia penduliflora (Bromelioideae). It also feeds on pollen from Kigelia pinnata ( Bignoniaceae ), while hovering. An individual captured in secondary forest in Sierra del Rosario, Cuba , had only unidentified pollen in its stomach. In Jamaica , it feeds on fruits of Brosimum alicastrum ( Moraceae ) and Cordia collococca ( Boraginaceae ).	The Buffy Flower Bat is considered monoestrous. It is polygynous, probably promiscuous. Mature males have a sexually dimorphic green-colored salivary gland. Fat reserves are significantly lower in dry seasons than wet seasons. Pregnant females can be found in February—June, peaking in April. Lactation occurs in June-September. Copulation likely occurs in December—January.	Based on data from Cuba , the Buffy Flower Bat departs day roosts 53— 100 minutes after sunset, making it one of the last species to leave a cave. It roosts predominantly in tepid areas (26°C) of caves, where it roosts in multispecies assemblages but maintains spatial separation from the other species. Found in abandoned buildings and, exceptionally, cooler sections of caves. It likely flies in forest understories.	The Buffy Flower Bat forms smaller colonies of a few hundreds. As a result, it probably does not have to commute over long distances to forage. Nevertheless, it has been observed using night roosts while foraging in Cuba and Jamaica .	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Buffy Flower Bat is considered common throughoutits restricted distribution. In the Bahamas ,it is the most widespread species of bat. In Cuba ,it is very common and has been collected in all but one province (Camagtiey). Reports from Jamaica vary, but it appears to be less common than on other islands. It occurs in protected areas.

Its taxonomy was reviewed by Baker et al. (1978), but note that they included bombifrons in this taxon. The species was further reviewed by Timm and Genoways (2003).	20000000	Erophylla sezekorni	Least Concern		2019	2016-07-09 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category.	The species normally roosts in large colonies in cooler portions. It begins foraging later than many other bats (Gannon et al. 2005). Its diet typically contains some combination of insects, nectar, and fruit. It has a litter size of one and probably gives birth just once each year in spring (Gannon et al . 2005).	Because of its roosting habits, major threats are directed to the caves they occupy mostly for exploitation of guano, and mining activities (Mancina pers. comm.).	This bat is apparently locally common; it can constitute large colonies of thousands of individuals (Gannon et al. 2005).	Unknown	This species is known from Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Cayman Islands (Simmons, 2005).		Terrestrial	It is recommended to increase protection to the caves used by this species.
