"For more than 100 years, the species had never been captured, being known only by its #holotype... The new record of H. alienus in #Palmas is in a protected area, which indicates that at least one population of the species may be protected"
South American bat rediscovered after a century
The Strange Big-eared Brown Bat, Histiotus alienus, was first described by science in 1916, by the British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. The description of the species was based on a single specimen captured in Joinville, Paraná, in southern Brazil.
