The Chiriquinan serotine (Eptesicus chiriquinus) is a species of house bat.
The Chiriquinan serotine is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List due to its wide distribution and the unlikelihood of its speedy decline.[1] However, the species is poorly known and may be rare.[1] Its worst known threat is habitat modification, and it has been known to exist in protected areas.[1]
The Chiriquinan serotine is found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, and Amazônia Legal.[2] Its type locality is in Boquete, Chiriquí from an elevation of 4,000 ft (1,200 m).[2] The species is an insectivore and is likely forest-dependent.[1] It prefers moist habitats, montane tropical forests, or evergreen forests.[1]
It is considered to be distinct from the little black serotine and the Brazilian brown bat.[2] The IUCN Red List includes Eptesicus montosus with the Chiriquinan serotine.[1]
