Vernacular Names: Thomas's Broad-nosed Bat.

Distribution: Panama to Peru and Bolivia.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Although the named forms umbratus, oratus, and aquilus were regarded as synonyms of dorsalis by Carter and Rouk (1973), these apparently represent a distinct species for which the oldest name is umbratus; see Handley (1976).
