Summary "Description of a New Vespertilionine Bat from Yucatan" by J. A. Allen is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This document serves as a detailed taxonomic description of a newly identified species of bat, specifically from the genus "Adelonycteris", hailing from Yucatan. The work falls within the realm of natural history and zoology, focusing on the classification and anatomical specifics of a newly discovered mammal. In the publication, Allen presents a comprehensive description of the new bat species, which he names "Adelonycteris gaumeri". He details the bat's physical characteristics, including its coloration, ear structure, and skull measurements, comparing it to similar species and highlighting its unique features. The text discusses notable differences in size and anatomical structure, indicating the bat's distinctiveness within its genus. The specimen was collected by Dr. George F. Gaumer in Izamal, Yucatan, and this careful documentation underlines the importance of biodiversity research in that region. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
