Dwarf Dog-faced Bat
Previously included in temminckii, but distinct; see Ramírez-Chaves et al. (2023). Note that the results of Volleth et al. (2023) regarding karyotypes from Orinoco region that support the distinctiveness of griseiventer at the specific level do not appear to be correct; see Ramírez-Chaves et al. (2023).
