[3] In 1906, Knud Andersen placed it in Glyphonycteris but spelled the species name as behni.

[4] The eponym for the species name "behnii" is German zoologist Wilhelm Friedrich Georg Behn.

[4] Based on the diets of closely related species, Behn's bat is likely omnivorous, consuming insects and small fruits.

[3] Behn's bat is native to South America, where it is found in Brazil and Peru.

[1] As of 2016, it is evaluated as a data deficient species by the IUCN because only six individuals have ever been documented.
