The great evening bat is the largest bat in the vesper bat family Vespertilionidae, and the only living species in the genus Ia. It is found across eastern and southeastern Asia, mainly in areas with limestone caves at altitudes of 400 to 1,700 meters, with roost sites recorded both near cave entrances and as far as 1.5 kilometers into cave systems.
