Griveaud's long-fingered bat

Mammals

Griveaud's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus griveaudi) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae found in the Comoros and Madagascar, in the Afrotropical realm. David Harrison described it in 1959 from Grande Comore as a subspecies, Miniopterus minor griveaudi, of the lesser long-winged bat, and the Mammal Diversity Database now treats it as a full species split from Miniopterus manavi. Its IUCN Red List status is recorded as Not Evaluated. The database also gives the alternative common names Comoros bent-winged bat and Comoros long-fingered bat.
