Mammals

The little long-fingered bat (Miniopterus australis), also called the little bent-winged bat, is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database places in the Australasian realm. Its recorded countries are Australia, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, and the database summarises its range as the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Timor and the Moluccas, southeast to Vanuatu and eastern Australia. Robert Tomes described it in 1858 in his monograph of the genus, from Lifu Island in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern.
