J. Baker and R. D. Bradley in 2006 could represent cryptic speciation but not distinct mitochondrial lineages or phylogroups. Monotypic.	S Central and N South America from SW Nicaragua (Refugio Bartola), S throughout Costa Rica and Panama to Colombia , Venezuela , Trinidad I, the Guianas, Brazil , E Ecuador , E Peru , and N Bolivia .	Head-body ¢.34-41 mm (males) and 33-36 mm (females), tail 20-28 mm (males) and 21-38 mm (females), hindfoot 7-8 mm (males) and 7-9 mm (females), forearm 35-37 mm (males) and 36-5-38-5 mm (females); weight 3-1-3-6 g (males) and 3-2-4-2 g (females). Tail of the Thumbless Bat extends a little less than two-thirds the length of uropatagium, in which it is completely encased. Intraspecific divergence in measurements of Thumbless Bats in samples from Espirito Santo and the Guianas varied 2:1-2-5%. Zygomatic breadths are 7-3-7-8 mm, and maxillary tooth rows are 4:7-4-8 mm (females). Specific name horrens refers to bristly hair on this bat. Thumbless Bats are small and delicate, with soft, thick, bluish gray to slate-gray fur on dorsum; venteris slightly paler. Height of braincase, including auditory bullae, is much less than distance from frontal angle to most posterior point of occipital region; muzzle and lips nearly simple. Rostrum is short, ¢.50% the length of braincase. Dental formula is 12/3, C 1/1, P 2/3, M 3/3 (x2) = 36; upper incisors are paired, outerslightly smaller than inner; space between two inner incisors and that between outer incisor and canine are distinct; C' is small, and its shaft is about equal in height to the large P% P! is ¢.50% the size of canine and second premolar; lower incisors have trifid cutting edges, forming continuous row between canines; C is as high as P, and P,, which are about equal in size; and P| is ¢.50% the height of canine. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 34 and FN = 62; Gand C-band data have not been published.	Humid tropical and subtropical forests in lowlands at elevations of 250-1200 m. Although Thumbless Bats have been associated with caves, they also use other shelters such as buildings (empty or occupied), tunnels, among boulders, hollow logs, and within or under fallen decomposing trees.	Thumbless Bats are insectivorous and fly close to the ground, especially in search of moths. Species of Lepidoptera are more abundant in diets than species of Diptera or Coleoptera.	In Colombia ,five females were caught in September: one gravid, three nongravid, and a young. Fifty-nine males were found on a fallen tree in Costa Rica in May, and there were isolated males in a cavern in Panama in February. In the most comprehensive study of the Thumbless Bat in Brazil , W. Uieda and colleagues in 1980 reported lactating females with young in January-February, and the young were ready to start flying. On an October night, three young (two males and one female) were hanging on a cliff inside a cave in Brazil . Female reproductive system has short, partially bicornuate uterus; while ovaries typically have abundant stromal type intersticial gland tissue. The placenta is discoidal; large vascular channels are hemodichorial, with widely scattered maternal endothelial cells; and smaller vascular channels are endotheliodichorial (somite stage embryo) (light microscopy). There was a developing discoidal chorioallantoic placenta in a female Thumbless Bat captured in a road culvert in the Western Andes Range of Colombia . Although she carried only a somite stage embryo, most maternal endotelial cells had already been eliminated from the larger vascular channels (establishing a hemodichorial condition) but were still common in the smaller channels.	It often occurs in small groups of 4-10 individuals but has recently been found in large aggregations (e.g. 59 males roosting inside a tree in Costa Rica and 150-250 mixed-gender individuals in a few grottos in Brazil ). Thumbless Bats begin to fly at twilight but do not leave their shelters until after dark. Echolocation calls have low-duty cycles, dominated by sounds less than 100 kHz.	Thumbless Bats are known to cooccur with several other bat species such as the Woolly False Vampire Bat (Chrotopterus auritus), the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus), Pallas’s Long-tongued Bat (Glossophaga soricina), Geoffroy’s Tailless Bat (Anoura geoffroyi), Seba’s Short-tailed Bat (Carollia perspicillata), the White-lined Broad-nosed Bat (Platyrrhinus lineatus), the Lesser Dog-like Bat (Peropteryx macrotis), the Hairy-legged Vampire Bat (Diphylla ecaudata), Little Big-eared Bat (Micronycteris megalotis), and the Greater Spear-nosed Bat (Phyllostomus hastatus). Thumbless Bats could be preyed on by carnivorous bats in caves, and remains of Thumbless Bats have been found in stomach contents of the Fringe-lipped Bat (Trachops cirrhosus), the Greater Spear-nosed Bat, and the Woolly False Vampire Bat.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Thumbless Bat is listed as least concern in the Ecuadorian Red Book of Endangered Species but vulnerable in the Brazilian Red Book of Endangered Species. The Thumbless Bat was long considered one of the most rare Neotropical bats, butit has been discovered recently in relatively large aggregations.

The species' natural history is very poorly known, and it is infrequently collected. This bat is strongly associated with moist habitats in Venezuela (Handley 1976), especially in lowland rainforest (Emmons and Feer 1997). Roosts in small clusters in colonies of up to at least 60 in caves, horizontal fallen logs, and deep cracks between rocks, one such roost was among large boulders in a riverbed, which were exposed during the dry season (LaVal 1977). A group of four found under a hollow log in Ecuador immediately vacated the roost when approached, then circled nearby and attempted to re-enter (Reid 2009). This small bat forages for insects, Lepidoptera in particular, flying close to the ground with a slow, fluttering, moth like flight (LaVal 1977). It is seldom caught in mist nets (Reid 2009). One pregnant female was captured in Colombia in September (Camargo and Tamsitt 1990). Five fossil specimens were recovered from Toca da Boa Vista, Bahia, Brazil (Czaplewski and Cartelle 1998).	Associated with caves and karstic environments and may be vulnerable to some habitat loss.	Apparently rare and local, but widespread (Emmons and Feer 1997, Reid 1997). Patchily distributed in Central America and northern South America. Sexes may roost separately during part of the year (Camargo and Tamsitt 1990). In Costa Rica more than 59 males ;were found ;occupying a hollow log in May (LaVal 1977).	Unknown	This species is found in Central and South America. This species occurs from Costa Rica south to Peru, the Guianas, Trinidad and eastern Brazil (Simmons 2005), also in Ecuador (Albuja 1999) and Nicaragua (Medina-Fitoria ;et al . 2015). Not recorded in Paraguay (Gardner 2008).		Terrestrial	Further studies are needed into the distribution, habitat, ecology, and threats to this species. Caves in central Brazil are threatened and need conservation measures to assure persistence. Conservation of cerrado habitats is needed.	Neotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
