Long-winged tomb bat

Mammals

The long-winged tomb bat (Taphozous longimanus) is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand; the Mammal Diversity Database also lists Brunei and Laos. Hardwicke described it in 1825 under the name Taphosous longimanus, and its type locality is Calcutta in Bengal, India. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Indomalayan and Palearctic realms and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented.
