The Incan Little Mastiff Bat (Mormopterus phrudus) is a species of bat found in Peru. It belongs to the subgenus Micronomus. The species is red listed as an endangered as of 2008, mainly because of it is known only from a single location, near the Urubamba River in Peru. It has not been found in nearby suitable habitats, suggesting it might be microendemic. Very little is known about its habitat and ecology, but it may prefer mountainous forests and roost in caves.
