The long-snouted bat (Platalina genovensium) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae.[2] It is the only species within the genus Platalina.[2][3] It is endemic to northern Peru and northern Chile.[1][4] It feeds almost exclusively on the nectar and fruit of the columnar cactus.[5] The species is rare, but has a wide distribution with at least 25 populations, and is listed as near-threatened due to habitat loss causing the removal of their primary food source.[1]
