CINNAMON DOG-FACED BAT Cynomops abrasus
Cynomops bats are characterised by large, rounded ears which lack a flexible fold where they meet the head and are ever so slightly separated on the forehead. This is the smaller of the two Paraguayan species and can be further distinguished from the other species Cynomops planirostris by its dark thoat and underparts.
