WHITE-THROATED DOG-FACED BAT Cynomops planirostris
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 larger of the two Paraguayan species and can be further distinguished from the other species Cynomops abrasus by its pale thoat and underparts.
