Somali sheath-tailed bat

The Somali sheath-tailed bat, listed by the Mammal Diversity Database as the Arabian sheath-tailed bat (Coleura gallarum), is a bat of the family Emballonuridae, the sac-winged and sheath-tailed bats, in the subfamily Emballonurinae. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1915. The Mammal Diversity Database records it from Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Oman, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, which places it across the Horn of Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, and assigns it to both the Afrotropical and Palearctic biogeographic realms. It is one of the four species of the genus Coleura, which also holds the African sheath-tailed bat, the Madagascar sheath-tailed bat and the Seychelles sheath-tailed bat. The database lists its IUCN Red List status as Not Evaluated. It has no English Wikipedia article of its own, so little else about its diet, roosts, habits and population trend is written up in the sources read, and those facts remain to be documented.
