Bickham's little yellow bat (Rhogeessa bickhami) is a species of vesper bat found in Central America.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 2012.

The holotype had been collected by L. W. Robbins in May 1981, {{cvt|23.6|mi|km}} north of Huixtla, Mexico.

The eponym for the species name "bickhami" is John W. Bickham, who has researched other bat species of this genus, as well as other mammals.[2]

Description

It is considered "medium sized" for its genus, with a head to tail length of {{cvt|66-78|mm|in}}.

It is a diploid organism with two sets of each chromosome (2n=34).

It has a dental formula of {{DentalFormula|upper=1.1.1.3|lower=3.1.2.3}} for a total of 30 teeth.[2]

Biology and ecology

It is insectivorous, catching and consuming insects while flying.[3]

Range and habitat

It is found in Central America where its range includes Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua.[1]

Conservation

As of 2017, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN.

It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a relatively large geographic range; it is not locally uncommon; and it can tolerate some human disturbance of its habitat.[1]
