The giant ghost-faced bat (Mormoops magna) is a prehistoric species of bat that was endemic to the Caribbean. It is only known from fragmental humerus remains,[2] which physically resemble those of Mormoops megalophylla but are larger in size.[3]
This bat species became extinct between 7500-9000 years ago.
