Schreibers's long-fingered bat

Mammals

Schreibers's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus schreibersii), also called the common bent-winged bat, is the best known member of the family Miniopteridae and the name-bearer of a species complex. Heinrich Kuhl described it in 1817 as Vespertilio schreibersii from a cave in the Banat mountains of Romania. The Mammal Diversity Database records a range from southern Europe and Morocco through the Caucasus and the Near East, including Albania, Algeria, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey, and gives its IUCN Red List status as Vulnerable. Several former subspecies have since been recognised as separate species.
