The fraternal fruit-eating bat is a small bat from the leaf-nosed family. It inhabits the tropical forests of South America and feeds on tree fruits.
This species differs from related bats in the shape of the nose leaf and preference for certain fruits. It is important for nature because it disperses plant seeds and helps the forest regenerate.
