Intermediate long-fingered bat

Mammals

The intermediate long-fingered bat (Miniopterus medius) is a bat of the family Miniopteridae that the Mammal Diversity Database places in the Australasian realm, with recorded countries Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Thailand. Oldfield Thomas and Robert Wroughton described it in 1909 from a collection of mammals from western Java, with its type locality at Kalipoetjang on the Tji-Tandoei River. The database lists it in Mammal Species of the World of 2005, gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern, and records the alternative names intermediate and medium bent-winged bat.
