Distribution.
Lonchophylla inexpectata is endemic to the Caatinga, and has been recorded in the Brazilian states of Pernambuco and Bahia ( Moratelli and Dias 2015).
Conservation status.
The red list of the IUCN ver. 3.1 has not yet evaluated the extinction risk of Lonchophylla inexpectata . The species was not included in the official list of threatened species of Brazil ( ICMBIO-MMA 2016). Confirmed specimens of Lonchophylla inexpectata are currently known from only three localities. Although an exhaustive revision of specimens housed in zoological collections might reveal a higher number of localities for the species, a provisional conservation status denoting some risk of extinction seems a sensible action considering the extremely low number of confirmed localities, particularly considering trends of habitat loss in the Caatinga ( Albuquerque et al. 2012).
