The Brazilian funnel-eared bat (Natalus macrourus) is a South American bat species found in eastern Brazil and in Paraguay. It roosts in caves, which makes it vulnerable to disturbance of these scarce sites, and in particular, to extermination campaigns against cave-roosting bats carried out in Brazil to combat rabies.[1]

It was formerly considered a subspecies of N. stramineus.[1][2]
