EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases an enchanting array of Chiroptera bat heads and faces, showcasing the stunning diversity within the order of mammals commonly known as bats. The image includes fifteen distinct species, each with unique features that set them apart. In the foreground, the Brown Long-eared Bat (Plecotus auritus, 1 and 2) displays its large, rounded ears and brown fur. Nearby, the Lesser Long-eared Bat (Nyctophilus geoffroyi, 3) exhibits its smaller, more pointed ears and lighter coloration. The Lesser False Vampire Bat (Megaderma spasma, 4) boasts a wide, flat face and a distinctive, elongated snout. The Big-eared Woolly Bat (Chrotopterus auritus, 5) stands out with its large, furry ears and white fur. The Tomess Sword-nosed Bat (Lonchorhina aurita, 6 and 7) displays its distinctive, elongated, sword-shaped snout. The Mexican Funnel-eared Bat (Natalus stramineus, 8) is characterized by its large, funnel-shaped ears. The Antillean Ghost-faced Bat (Mormoops blainvillii, 9) is known for its completely white face, while the Flower-faced Bat (Anthops ornatus, 10) sports a face covered in small, white, glandular pores. The Greater Spear-nosed Bat (Phyllostomus hastatus, 11) showcases its elongated, spear-like snout. The Thumbless Bat (Furipterus horrens, 12) is unique for its lack of thumbs. The Greater Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, 13) is easily recognizable by its distinctive, horseshoe-shaped nose. The Wrinkle-faced Bat (Centurio senex, 14) displays its deeply wrinkled face and large, pointed ears. Lastly, the Spectral Bat (Vampyrum spectrum, 15) is the largest bat in the Americas, with a wide, flat face and large, pointed ears. This stunning artwork, created by Adolf Glitsch from an illustration by Ernst Haeckel in 1904, provides a captivating glimpse into the diverse world of Chiroptera bats.
