mollusque commented on the word chiroptivorous
The large chiroptivorous bull-dog bat (Phyllostomus hastatus) is much larger and more fearsome-appearing than the vampires, but it is not dangerous to man or to most other animals except small bats.
--Julian Haynes Steward, 1950, Handbook of South American Indians, p. 365
