The western sucker-footed bat (Myzopoda schliemanni) is a bat endemic to Madagascar. Little is known about its habits, but they are assumed to be similar to those of the Madagascar sucker-footed bat.Garbutt, Nick; Mammals of Madagascar; Yale University Press, New Haven, 2007: pg 73
The western sucker-footed bat is long. It has large ears, and prominent suckers on its feet and thumbs. It has buff-brown upper parts, and mouse-gray underparts.
The species has been found on three lowland broad-leaf rainforest sites in north-western Madagascar. It is also found in dry deciduous forests. It feeds extensively on Lepidoptera, as well as cockroaches, and to a much smaller extent on Hymenoptera and beetles.Rajemison, B., & Goodman, S. M. (2007).
