Musonycteris: Banana Bat, or Colima Long-nosed Bat - English
URL: http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/walker/chiroptera/chiroptera.phyllostomidae.muson

Specimens of Musonycteris have been taken in nylon mist nets set across a small irrigation ditch in a banana grove in arid thorn forest. An extensive tropical deciduous forest was only a short distance from the thorn forest. The banana trees in the grove were blooming when the first three specimens were collected in 1958; presumably these bats were feeding on the flowers.
