The Javanese long-fingered bat (Miniopterus blepotis) is a bat of the genus Miniopterus, family Miniopteridae, that Wikipedia describes as native to Indonesia and ranging across Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, New Guinea and the Lesser Sunda Islands. It was long treated as a subspecies of the common bent-winged bat Miniopterus schreibersii and was recognised as a distinct species after that complex was divided, a view backed by mitochondrial DNA sequences from New Guinea. Whether it is itself a complex of several species is unknown. It lives in dry, secondary and wet forests up to about 2,900 metres, prefers caves but also uses mines and tunnels, and hunts aerial prey above the forest canopy.
