The species' habit of capturing prey over water is shared with only a few other Neotropical bats, including the noctilionids, the emballonurid Rhynchonycteris naso, and a few vespertilionids (Weinbeer et al., 2006; Weinbeer and Kalko, 2007), although their insect prey is typically smaller than that of other gleaners (Meyer et al., 2005).
