This bat is only once seen and caught on Bonaire, when it entered a house in 1958. It is also found in Venezuela and Trinidad. Some time ago the bat caught on Bonaire was thought to be a different species, A. minor. Research revealed that the bats all belong to one species, A. centurio.

The single species, A. centurio, occurs in Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, Trinidad, and Bonaire Island (Jones and Carter 1976). For many years, a second species, A. minor, was thought to exist, but Peterson (1965b) showed that the small A. minor actually comprised the male members of A. centurio.
