The western sucker-footed bat (Myzopoda schliemanni) is a Bat endemic to Madagascar. Little is known about its habits, but they are assumed to be similar to those of the Madagascar sucker-footed bat.[2]
The western sucker-footed bat is 92–107 mm (0.302–0.351 ft) long. It has large ears, and prominent suckers on its feet and thumbs. It has buff-brown upper parts, and mouse-gray underparts.[2]
The species has been found on three lowland broad-leaf rainforest sites in north-western Madagascar.[2] It is also found in dry deciduous forests.[3] It feeds extensively on Lepidoptera, as well as cockroaches, and to a much smaller extent on Hymenoptera and beetles.[4]
