Least long-fingered bat

Mammals

The least long-fingered bat (Miniopterus minor) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database records from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, the Republic of the Congo and Tanzania, in the Afrotropical realm. Wilhelm Peters described it in 1867 from specimens collected on the coast of Zanzibar by Baron Carl von der Decken's East African expedition. The database notes that it previously included Miniopterus newtoni, lists it in Mammal Species of the World of 2005, and records its IUCN Red List status as Not Evaluated.
