The Sulawesi free-tailed bat (Mops sarasinorum) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. It is found in Indonesia and the Philippines.

Taxonomy and etymology[edit]

It was described as a new species in 1899 by German biologist Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer. Von Meyer placed it in the now-defunct genus Nyctinomus with a binomial of N. sarasinorum.[2] The eponym for the species name "sarasinorum" was Paul and Fritz Sarasin, a pair of Swiss cousins who conducted a research expedition in Sulawesi.[3]

Description[edit]

It has a forearm length of approximately 40 mm (1.6 in). Its fur color is variable, with individuals documented with blackish brown, blackish chestnut, or chesnut-brown.[4] Individuals weigh approximately 19.7 g (0.69 oz).[5]

Range and habitat[edit]

It is native to Southeast Asia where it is found in Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been found at elevations up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level.[1]

Conservation[edit]

As of 2016, it is evaluated as a data deficient species by the IUCN.[1]
