The Van Gelder's Bat ("Bauerus dubiaquercus") is a species of vesper bat in the Vespertilionidae family.It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Mexico. The bat was discovered by Richard Van Gelder, then-curator of Mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History. He dubbed the bat "dubiaquercus" in honor of Oakes Plimpton, who doubted the newly-discovered bat was a different species.
