Greater long-fingered bat

Mammals

The greater long-fingered bat (Miniopterus inflatus) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database places in the Afrotropical realm. Its recorded countries are Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, and the database notes that the West African distribution is uncertain because of confusion with Miniopterus schreibersii. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1903 from Efulen in Cameroon. Its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern.
