Johnstone's mastiff bat

Mammals

Johnstone's mastiff bat (Otomops johnstonei) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae, and English Wikipedia describes it as endemic to Indonesia. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name and credits the description to Kitchener, How and Maryanto, 1992, so it was named only in the last decade of the twentieth century. The GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category lists it as Data Deficient, which means the available information is too thin for the IUCN to judge its extinction risk. Because the species is known from a single country and has a short research history, claims about its habitat, diet or numbers would go beyond what the sources read support, and none are made here.
