Similar to Townsend's big-eared bat, this species has two lumps on either side of its nose. Rafinesque's big-eared bat is a medium-sized bat with a length around 7.5–10 cm (3.0–3.9 in) and a wingspan of 25–30 cm (10–12 in). These bats range in weight from 6–13 g (0.21–0.46 oz). [3]
[1] [2] Almost no vespertilionines have population estimates, though seven species—the New Caledonian wattled bat, Guadeloupe big brown bat, Socotran pipistrelle, Rosevear's serotine, Japanese noctule, Madeira pipistrelle, and Genoways's yellow bat—are categorized as endangered species, and five species—the New Zealand long-tailed bat ...

Genus Corynorhinus – American lump-nosed bats Rafinesque's big-eared bat, Corynorhinus rafinesquii; Mexican big-eared bat, Corynorhinus mexicanus; Townsend's big-eared bat, Corynorhinus townsendii; Genus Euderma. Spotted bat, Euderma maculatum; Genus Idionycteris. Allen's big-eared bat, Idionycteris phyllotis; Genus Otonycteris
Pelage varies from gray to bright orange-brown, with females generally being more brightly colored than the males. Southeastern bats are unique among Myotis of the United States in the production of twins; all other Myotis females usually produce one baby. This species is occasionally observed roosting with Rafinesque's big-eared bats. [2]
Nycticeius is a small genus of bats in the vesper bat family, Vespertilionidae, and the only member of the tribe Nycticeiini.It contains three species, the evening bat (N. humeralis), the Cuban evening bat (N. cubanus) and Nycticeius aenobarbus.
The genus Corynorhinus consists of the big-eared bats, or American long-eared bats. Only three species occur in the genus, all occurring in North America. Members of this group were previously in the genus Plecotus, the long-eared bats, and were also then called lump-nosed bats. Populations of these species are generally uncommon and declining.
However, others argue that as Allen's yellow bat and the slender yellow bat are sister taxa, to exclude only one from Rhogeessa makes it a paraphyletic group. By that logic, either both species need to be included in Rhogeessa, or both need to be placed in Baeodon. [2] A 2008 paper recommended moving the slender yellow bat to the Baeodon genus. [2]
