The Blunt-eared Bat (Tomopeas ravus) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. It is monotypic within the genus Tomopeas and subfamily Tomopeatinae.[citation needed] It is endemic to Peru. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The classification of the Blunt-eared Bat has historically been problematic; many authors placed it in the family Vespertilionidae, while others preferred the Molossidae. However, it is now universally placed as the only member of subfamily Tomopeatinae of family Molossidae.
