Mammals

The great long-fingered bat (Miniopterus tristis), also called the greater bent-winged bat, is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database places in the Australasian realm. Recorded countries are Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. George Robert Waterhouse described it in 1845 as Vespertilio tristis from bats collected in the Philippine Islands by Hugh Cuming. The database lists it in Mammal Species of the World of 2005 and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
