[Glossophaga] caudifer E. Geoffroy 1818, Mem. Mus. Natn. Hist. Nat. Paris, 4: 418.

Type Locality: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.

Vernacular Names: Tailed Tailless Bat.

Distribution: Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, NW Argentina.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc) as Anoura caudifera.

Discussion: Some specimens previously referred to caudifer may represent luismanueli; see Molinari (1994); also see Cadena et al. (1998). Often spelled " caudifera " (see Handley, 1984), but the correct spelling is caudifer according to Article 31.2.2 of the Code of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999).
