The Bokermann's Nectar Bat was discovered by Sazima & al in 1978. It inhabits South-east Brazil. It is currently (2003) listed as a vulnerable species. This particular species is also endemic to Brazil.

Very few reportings of this particular bat species have been uncovered. It is from the Lonchophylla family of bats.

Brazil has 138 identified bat species, however very little research has been carried out on some of the species. This particular species is one of those, as it is rare to find this particular species of bat.
