Large-eared sheath-tailed bat

The large-eared sheath-tailed bat (Emballonura dianae) is a small bat of the family Emballonuridae, the sac-winged and sheath-tailed bats, found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. J. Edwards Hill described it in 1956, and its type locality is Te-Abagua Cave near Tigoa on Rennell Island in the Solomon Islands. It is one of the eight species of the genus Emballonura recognised in the Wikipedia list of emballonurids. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Australasian biogeographic realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. Little else about its ecology is written up in the sources read, so its diet, roosts and population trend still need to be documented from further sources.
