Hamilton's tomb bat (Taphozous hamiltoni) is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae found in Chad, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda; the Mammal Diversity Database also lists Sudan. Its natural habitat is savanna. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1920, and its type locality is Mongalla in Sudan, in what is now South Sudan. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Afrotropical realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Not Evaluated. Like other tomb bats of the genus Taphozous it belongs to the sheath-tailed bats, whose tails are partly enclosed by the membrane between the legs. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented.
