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

It was described as a new species in 2012.

Taxonomy and etymology

Menchu's little yellow bat was described as a new species in 2012 by Baird et al.

Morphological and genetic analyses differentiated it from the black-winged little yellow bat, R. tumida.

The holotype had been collected by R. D. Bradley in 1991 in the Atlántida Department of Honduras.

The eponym for the species name "menchuae" is Rigoberta Menchú.

The authors wanted to honor Menchú for "her decades of work establishing a better understanding of the Mayan culture in Guatemala."[2]

Description

Menchu's little yellow bat is a medium-sized member of its genus with a total length of {{cvt|69-76|mm|in}}.

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

Range and habitat

Menchu's little yellow bat is known only from Guatemala and Honduras.[1]

Its range possibly extends into southern Belize and northern Nicaragua.[2]

Conservation

As of 2017, Menchu's little yellow bat is listed as a data deficient species by the IUCN.

It was only recently described as a new species, and few individuals have ever been documented.

The threats faced by this species are unknown.[1]
