Myotis diminutus is a species of mouse-eared bat found in Ecuador and Colombia. It was recently described as a new species in 2011.

Taxonomy and etymology

Myotis diminutus was described as a new species in 2011 by Moratelli and Wilson.

The holotype was collected in February 1979 {{cvt|47|km|mi}} south of Santo Domingo, Ecuador. The species name "diminutus" is Latin for "diminutive". Moratelli and Wilson selected this name because M. diminutus was the smallest species of mouse-eared bat yet described in South America.[2]

Description

Superficially, M. diminutus is similar to the black myotis in appearance.

Very few individuals have ever been documented. Based on the measurements of one individual, a subadult male, individuals weigh approximately {{cvt|3.5|g|oz}} and have a forearm length of {{cvt|33.3|mm|in}}.

Its ears are short, at {{cvt|11|mm|in}} in length.

It has silky, cinnamon-brown fur.

Its skull lacks a sagittal crest.[2]

Range

The species was first documented in Ecuador. However, a review of museum specimens identified a second individual that had been collected in the Nariño Department of Colombia in 1959.[3]

With only two confirmed localities, its elevation range of occurrence is {{cvt|150-225|m|ft}} above sea level.[1]
