  This long-tailed bat occurs from the Middle East into South Asia. It roosts in rock fissures, caves, and abandoned structures; a study in northern India found it using historical buildings and feeding on insects.

  This bat has a long tail that extends beyond the tail membrane, and its fur ranges from gray to reddish brown. It eats insects and roosts in caves and old buildings in dry regions.
