## Taxonomy

It was described as a new species in 1870 by German naturalist Wilhelm Peters. Peters placed it in the now-defunct genus Atalpha, with a binomial of Atalpha egregia.[2] The holotype was collected in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina[2] by Hermann Burmeister.[3]

## Description

It has black flight membranes and its fur is a consistent shade of red over its entire body.[4] Two individuals captured in Honduras had forearm lengths of 50–51 mm (2.0–2.0 in) and body weights of 16–17 g (0.56–0.60 oz). Its ear length is approximately 18 mm (0.71 in).[5] Its wingspan is approximately 390.3 mm (15.37 in).[6]

## Range and habitat

The big red bat is found in Central and South America. Its range includes Panama, Brazil, French Guiana,[1] and Suriname.[6] In 1998, the species was documented in Honduras for the first time. This marked a 1,200 km (750 mi) extension of the species' range from the previously known northern limit.[5]

## Conservation

This species is infrequently encountered. The capture of two individuals in Honduras in 1998 marked the fifth and sixth individuals ever documented.[5] Due to the lack of information on its ecology, geographic extent, population size, and threats it faces, the IUCN lists this species as data deficient as of 2016.[1]
