D.O.Straney 1878 125 13 Aug. (cont.) very steeply into the mountains. there is little workable habitat along the road- most has been cut over to adjacent ridges which have fine (unaccessible) gallery forest. After ~ 7 km the road comes out on a ridge & for a while is flat & cut then climbs again. Many heliconia plants. We stopped 10.8 Km S Agua Buena (= 10.8 km N Villa Neilly) for pictures, & I walked over to a furled banana leaf to look in. It required Ray's boosting me to reach the base &, when I peered inside there was a bat. Hurrially, cutting the leaf, we layed it on the road and slowly unfurled it. There were 3 thegyoptera tricolor in the leaf, along with several fresh droppings. It was quite a sight to see two tiny feet with suckers poking out of the edge of the leaf! The animals are Myotis sized, white below shading to grayish brown marginally, on the sides, and dorsally. The ears are funnel shaped (like Fungferds?) and lips are light and look to be swollen (glass) legs are very thin, feet almost non existent. The wing membrane comes down broadly lateral to the legs. Suckers were fleshy, perhaps even moist (but this may be juice from the cut leaf). A very delicate Vesperstilionid-like
