Raffray's sheath-tailed bat (Emballonura raffrayana) is a small bat of the family Emballonuridae, the sac-winged and sheath-tailed bats, found in eastern Indonesia including Western New Guinea, in Papua New Guinea and in the Solomon Islands. George Edward Dobson described it in 1879 from a specimen first reported from Gilolo Island; Oldfield Thomas later corrected the type locality to Numfor Island in Geelvink Bay, Western New Guinea. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Australasian realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so the diet, roosts, habits and population trend of the species are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented.
