A New Bat (Genus Leptonycteris) From Coahuila

"A New Bat (Genus Leptonycteris) From Coahuila" by Howard J. Stains is a zoological study identifying a previously unrecognized subspecies of long-nosed bat in Coahuila, Mexico through detailed physical analysis. This scientific book carefully examines bats of the species *Leptonycteris nivalis*, formally establishing the novel subspecies *Leptonycteris nivalis longala*. Distinguishing traits, like a larger skull, an elongated third finger, and particular color patterns, were recorded and served as the basis for comparison between specimens collected from disparate geographical locations. The document highlights the importance of geographical variation within species and refines the scientific categorization within the bat genus.
