E. Leach in 1821 described two new species, Aello cuviert and Mormoops blainvilliz, in the same volume of the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, with Aello appearing eight pages before Mormoops . After examining the type specimens, G. E. Dobson in 1878 concluded that both names applied to the same species. Despite the page priority, he argued to retain the name Mormoops because the definition of the genus Aello was incorrect, and the type specimen had lost many of the diagnostic characteristics. Based on Dobson’s recommendation, other subsequent revisions of the group chose the name Mormoops blainvillii over Aello cuvieri. Hence, opinion 462 of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) in 1957 officially recognized the name Mormoops as having precedence over Aello. In this same document, the specific epithet blainvillei was placed as the correct spelling. Fossil records of M. blainvillei are reported from several islands in the Bahamas and Greater Antilles and Anguilla , Antigua , and Barbuda in the Lesser Antilles. Based on these records, M. blainvillei had a more extensive distribution in the late Quaternary than it has today.

Head-body ¢.52-56 mm, tail 28-30 mm, hindfoot 10-11 mm, forearm 43-50 mm; weight 6-11 g. Pelage is long, soft, and silky. Fur color varies from pale cinnamon to reddish; hairs are slightly darker dorsally than ventrally. Ears are short and rounded. Labionasal plate is complex, with nostrils surrounded by separate pads; margin above and between nostrils is characterized by several irregularly shaped tubercles. Skull rostrum is strongly upturned, almost at a 90° angle to braincase plane. Braincase is globular, with inflated parietals. Condylo-basal lengths are 12-14 mm. Incisors are delicate, separated from canines by conspicuous diastemata in upper tooth row. There is a geographical trend of increasing overall size from Cuba to Hispaniola and Puerto Rico , with Jamaican populations being intermediate in size.	Semi-open spaces along riverine galleries and forested terraces to forage and caves to roost.	The Antillean Ghost-faced Bat feeds exclusively on insects, mostly small lepidopterans, but dipterans, homopterans, coleopterans, and ephemeropterans have also been reported in diets.	The Antillean Ghostfaced Bat is monoestrous and has one young per year. Records on reproductive status in Cuba noted pregnancy in March—June and lactation until September. There is sexual segregation in roosts at least during part of reproductive cycle.	The Antillean Ghost-faced Bat usually flies at greater heights and faster speeds compared with sympatric species of Pteronotus . It is nocturnal; foraging activity starts relatively late after dark and is consistent throughout the night. Higher activity levels are associated with primary forest sites. Echolocation calls during search phase consist of short and steep FM pulses averaging c.3 milliseconds, with up to four harmonics; second harmonic of 48-69kHz is typically most intense.	Antillean Ghostfaced Bats roost in hot, humid, and large caves, where colonies containing many thousands of individuals can be observed. They are commonly found roosting with other bat species, particularly mormoopids, but in spatially separated clusters.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Antillean Ghostfaced Bat is one of the most abundant species of insectivorous bats in the Greater Antilles.	Dobson (1878) | Emrich et al. (2014) | Genoways et al.

This species roosts mostly in hot caves, where each bat typically hangs by itself from ceiling. Individuals occasionally gather in small clusters in cooler sections of caves, and sometimes solitary bats are found in an apparent state of shallow torpor in places where air temperature may fall as low as 20 ;°C. This bat normally begins to exit the cave after dark, between 22 and 55 min after sunset (Silva-Taboada 1979). It is insectivorous, but foraging behavior has not been studied in detail. Moths are by far the most common food, in addition to moths, beetles are also eaten. It appears to hunt along forest edges and around the crowns of trees. It typically gives birth only once each year to a single offspring. On Cuba, pregnant females are found from March to June (Gannon et al. ;2005).	There are various threats to hot caves: In Puerto Rico, urban development (Rodriguez pers. comm.); in Jamaica, guano collection (Davalos pers. comm.); and in the Dominican Republic, mine exploration (Inchaustegui pers. comm.).	It is locally common; in hot caves it can attain high densities (Gannon et al. ;2005).	Unknown	This species occurs in the Greater Antilles, and adjacent small islands (Simmons, 2005). Presence of fossilized specimens indicates that at one time the range of this species extended from the Bahamas as far south as Antigua and Barbuda in the Lesser Antilles (Lancaster and Kalko 1996). Locally extinct from Abaco, Exuma and New Providence (Bahamas), Gonave (Haiti), Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda (Lesser Antilles) (Turvey pers. comm.). Today, this bat is known only from the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico) (Gannon ;et al. ;2005).		Terrestrial	Protecting the caves is the priority. There is only one protected hot cave in Jamaica (Davalos pers. comm.). The species is found in protected areas.	Neotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
