This species is monotypic.	From S Mexico (S Veracruz , Oaxaca , and Yucatan Peninsula) S through Central America to South America, including Colombia , Venezuela , the Guianas, E Ecuador , E Peru , Bolivia , and Brazil to Sao Paulo State ; also on Trinidad I.	Head-body 50-61 mm, tail 7-14 mm, ear 12-19 mm, hindfoot 10-18 mm, forearm 39-43 mm; weight 9-15 g. The Orange-throated Bat is medium-sized. Venter and throat are usually orange to yellow but can be as dark as cinnamon fuscous. Sometimesyellow-orange extends to bases of cars and head. Rest of pelageis olive-brown to dark brown or sepia. Immature individuals are olive-brown on back and sides. Strip of long, stiff hairs occurs around throat, and in some individuals, it forms ruff of darker color extending to back whereit blends into thicker and plusher hair on top of head. Eyes are black. Tail is relatively short and completely embedded in uropatagium, which is broad and hairy closer to body and naked distally. Noseleaf is pointed and relatively short compared with other phyllostomids. Lower lobe of noseleaf is easily distinguished from upperlip, and when viewed from the side,itis raised above contour of upperlip. Lowerlip has two squarish padsthat form V-shaped groove in chin. Ears are medium-sized for the family; they appear rounded, but upon close examination, they end in tip that is usually bent forward and outward, giving the impression of a rounded ear. Inner edge of ear,just above eye, has semicircular projection forward thatis very evident and helpful as a diagnostic characteristic. Tragusis long and pointed. Feet are long and slender, about the same length as calcar. Rostrum is slightly elongated. Dental formulais 12/2, C1/1,P 2/3, M 3/3 ( x2 ) = 34. There are two pairs of upper incisors. I' are chiselshaped, and I? are bifid, with elongated medial cusp in contact with I2. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 32 and FN = 60. X-chromosomeis submetacentric.	Various habitats from tropical lowland rainforests to tropical subhumid forests, tropical semideciduous forests, cerrado formations, and Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil at elevations below 525 m . Orange-throated Bats seem to be sensitive to human disturbance in their roosts and foraging habitats; they are among the first bat species to disappear after habitat fragmentation, disturbance, or destruction.	In southern Mexico , insects and spiders dominate diets of the Orange-throated Bats, but some fruit is also eaten. The Orange-throated Bat frequently is included in the guild of foliage-gleaning bats. Nevertheless, some researchers noted that it has longer, narrower wings and smaller ears than other typical gleaning bats of the same size and concluded that it conducts longerflights and has wider home ranges than other gleaning phyllostomids. Foraging areas represent 70-80% of home ranges. Available evidence suggests that the Orange-throated Bat is more markedly an aerial insectivore that hunts in open spaces,likely around upper canopies, and also uses open space above canopiesto take long foraging flights.	In southern Mexico , Orange-throated Bats seem to be monoestrous, giving birth during rainy season. Females carry a single embryo. Slightly different pattern of lactating females and young and subadults in March and July-August has been observed in Panama . Little is known of reproductive habits in South America. Orangethroated Bats form harems of one male and several females.	Orange-throated Bats are fully nocturnal, leaving day roosts an average of 45 minutes after sunset and returning one hour before sunrise. Most individuals in a radio-tracked colony in Barro Colorado Island, Panama , remained evenly active throughout the period that they remained outside the roost, but two males remained close to the roost throughout the night. One individual spent 82% of the night (and all daylight hours) inside the roost. Orange-throated Bats fly 1-70 minutes at a time, but most flights last 1-20 minutes. Average foraging flight lasted more than nine minutes, and foraging flights were alternated with behavior consistent with perch-hunting, with shortsallies or search flights. The Orange-throated Bats seem to combine aerial foraging with gleaning prey from vegetation.	Orange-throated Bats on Barro Colorado Island have rather large home ranges given their relatively small size. Average home range of males and females was c.30 ha, although one male used two foraging areas and thus had a home range of 60 ha. Within home ranges, foraging areas were smaller: 27 ha for males and 22 ha for females. Core areas were 4 ha for males and 5 ha for females. Home rangesoffive of nine radio-tracked individuals overlapped spatially, although sequential tracking of individuals did not allow for conclusions of simultaneous spatiotemporal habitat use; core areas of two individuals overlapped. Mean nightly distance flown was 15 km (7-25 km), but by extrapolating conservatively with flight speed of 9-9 m/s from M. Weinbeer and E. K. V. Kalko in 2004, the average total distance flown per night was probably closer to 60 km . Only two of the nine radio-tracked individuals foraged near the roost; the other seven moved away from the roost to forage. Orange-throated Bats form colonies of up to a few hundred individuals in hollow trees, caves, mines, culverts, and dark roomsat archaeologicalsites. They can coexist with a wide variety of other bat species in the same roost, including Fringe-lipped Bats ( Trachops cirrhosus ), short-tailed bats ( Carollia spp.), Cozumelan Golden Bats ( Mimon cozumelae ), and Pallas’s Long-tongued Bats ( Glossophaga soricina ).	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, given apparent intolerance to human disturbance oftheir habitat, population trends of the Orange-throated Bat seem to be declining. In Mexico , local federal legislation lists it as threatened because ofits dependence on undisturbed tropical rainforest.	Bolivar-Cimé et al. (2013) | Brandao et al.

It is widespread but uncommon and local, is strongly associated with forest and sensitive to habitat disturbance. However, given the extent of its range, it is unlikely to be declining rapidly enough to qualify for inclusion in a threat category.	It is strongly associated with moist evergreen and deciduous lowland habitats, as well as gallery forest ;(Reid 2009). Although occasionally caught in secondary forest and clearing, this species appears to be sensitive to habitat disturbance: a large cave roosting group in Veracruz disappeared as the surrounding forest was cut and burned (Medellin ;et al . 1985). ;This bat roosts in the hollow trunks of trees, caves, mines, and old buildings. ;Group size usually small; a colony may contain up to ten individuals; although a sea cave in Veracruz, Mexico, contained about 300 individuals; one male may occur with nine females, suggesting a polygynous mating system (Medellin et al. ;1985). Greatest activity occurs in the first 2 hours after sunset, with a second activity peak after midnight. Bonaccorso (1979) caught twice as many in subcanopy mist nets than in ground-level mist nets. About equal amounts of fruit and arthropods (spiders, beetles, ants, bugs, and flies) are eaten (Humphrey et al . 1983). Foragingstrategy included perch hunting and continuous flight; and may include “hawking” insects above the canopy (Weinbeer and Kalko 2004). Births usually coincide with the onset of rainy season, and a second pregnancy may follow later in the year (Reid 2009).	There are no major threats throughout its range. Habitat loss is a localised threat given its strong association with forests and apparent sensitivity to habitat disturbance.	This is a rare species throughout its range. Widely distributed but not common in Trinidad (Goodwin and Greenhall 1961). Locally common in dry forests in Costa Rica (B. Rodiguez, pers. comm.), but rare in Nicaragua (A. Medina, pers. comm.) and rather uncommon (Reid 2009).	Stable	This species ranges from Oaxaca and Veracruz, Mexico, through the Isthmus, across northern South America and south to Amazonian Brazil, also Trinidad (Simmons 2005, Reid 2009). In Brazil it reaches the SE part of the country, but does not seem to have a continuous distribution through the Amazonia (Williams and Genoways 2008). Recently recorded in eastern Ecuador (Tirira et al . 2010). It is found in lowlands to 700 m altitude, most specimens have been caught below 150 m asl in Venezuela (Handley 1976, Reid 2009).		Terrestrial	It is important to reduce habitat loss and protect its geographic range from extreme disturbance. In Mexico is listed as threatened under NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2001 (J.
