It is found in South America, specifically in northern Argentina, Bolivia, southeastern Brazil and Paraguay.[1] It is monotypic within its genus. DescriptionThe Ipanema bat is a medium-sized bat which is brown-furred overall, with the exception of its white-furred shoulders.[2] The fur of its back is a darker shade of brown than that of its chest.[2] It has less fur on its shoulders and upper chest than on the rest of its body, particularly in males.[2][3] Its rostrum is shorter and more square-shaped than other species of its subfamily, Stenodermatinae [2][4] It has a large nose and no tail, with roundish ears having a small, 4–5 mm (0.16-0.2 in) tragus.[2] Size varies based on sex and geographical location. Females tend to be larger than males.[4][5][3] The skulls of Ipanema bats from Argentina and Bolivia are bigger than those of their counterparts in Paraguay and Brazil.[5] P. bilabiatum typically has two molars.[2][6] However, some females have a third molar (usually in the mandibular jaw) not seen in males.[2][6] This may be correlated with the larger jaw size of females.[6] While both males and females have glands below the jaw and surrounding the eyes, the glands in males are generally larger.[3] Males also have forelimb swellings, which are not seen in females.[4] The size and presence of such swellings varies geographically.[4] Additionally, forelimb swellings appear to be correlated with development of the males' eye glands.[4] Due to the dimorphism of forelimb swellings, It is thought that they could be correlated with mating behaviors.[4] Range and HabitatThe Ipanema Bat resides in northern Argentina, southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia.[7][5] Their preferred habitats are tropical forests, subtropical forests, and secondary forests.[8] Although atypical, they are sometimes found in the coastal shrublands of Brazil.[8] This suggests that perhaps P. bilabiatum can expand its habitat into dryer, more sparsely vegetated areas.[8] DietP. bilabiatum is frugivorous, specializing in fruit that is easily digested.[3] These fruits are usually very ripe and fleshy, with few seeds.[3] The fruit choices of the Ipanema bat are diverse, including the fruits of Lucuma caimito, Miconia brasiliensis, and trees of the genus Celtis, as well as Maclura tinctoria, Solanum granuloso-leprosum, and Ficus enormis.[2][3][9][10] Some may also feed on nectar.[3]BehaviorMigrationMigration patterns may be influenced by rainfall amount and/or temperature. P. biliabatum appears to prefer regions with a minimum annual rainfall of 1500 mm (59 in) and moderate temperatures of 16-23 °C (61-73 °F)[7] Food availability and foraging capabilities seem to be an important factor in the timing and distance traveled during migration[7] Females and males migrate differently.[7] Males tend to linger in lower elevations, while females reside at intermediate and high elevations.[7]ReproductionP. bilabiatum usually reproduces in either the fall or the winter.[3] It is thought that they give birth during the later end of the dry period and wean their young at the beginning of the wet period.[10] This strategy coordinates birth with the highest amount of fruit attainability.[10] Females only carry one fetus at a time.[3] Additionally, nipples have been found on females, but it is unclear whether or not they are involved in lactation.[3]References1. ^1 {{IUCN2009.1|assessor= Barquez, R.|assessor2= Diaz, M.|last-assessor-amp= yes |year=2008|id=18945|title=Pygoderma bilabiatum |downloaded=13 September 2009}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Webster, W.D. and R.
