inflatus

That animal was a greater long-fingered bat, from the species Miniopterus inflatus, a furry beast the size of a small mouse, weighing half an ounce, with a 12-inch wingspan.

A peculiar pattern of distribution is that presented by Scalopus inflatus and Geomys tropicalis.

The two species, G. tropicalis and S. inflatus, are fossorial and for this reason probably were able to resist inhospitable climates better than non-burrowing species.

Endemic mammals of the Tamaulipan Biotic Province, in the part of it that is in Tamaulipas, are the following: Scalopus inflatus; Lepus californicus curti; Spermophilus spilosoma oricolus; Cratogeomys castanops tamaulipensis; Dipodomys ordii parvabullatus; and Sigmodon hispidus solus.

Both authors set up for prophets; and, like other inspired and less famous men, they mistook the illusions of their fancy and the suggestions of their imagination for the visions of the seer and the teachings of the divine inflatus.
