The papillose woolly bat (Kerivoula papillosa) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Brunei, India , Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
Appearance
The fur is typically dark brown on top, and lighter brown on the bottom. White hair is commonly found on the foot as well. This species has a unique interfemoral membrane. This membrane is hairless and is covered with small, soft, wart-like projections. The teeth are pointed and specialized for crushing the exoskeletons of insects.[2]
Ecology
Tree hollows are used for roosts, and generally have between 1 and 14 bats inhabiting them. The habitats inhabited are lowland mixed deciduous forests in the lower Asian peninsula.[3][4]
