Cynomops milleri is a species of bat that is native to South America. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Para dog-faced bat. [1] It is considered a small- to medium-sized member of its genus. [2] It is classified as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because it appears to be common and widespread.
The bat is an open-air hunter and is limited to forests. It is found in high and dense forests in Argentina and near floodable lands in Paraguay. The bat roosts in colonies of up to 75 individuals. The bat roosts in decayed logs and hollow trees, and tends to pick relatively warm area to roost. [1] [4]
