We have none of the harmful "bats here, such 
as the Vampires and the large fruit eating hats 
(Flying-fox). The Tasmanian hats are small and 
most have simple shaped noses, muzzles, and lips. » 
The upper incisor teeth are widely separated in 
the centre. The tail is long extending to the 
hind edge of the wide inter-thigh membrane, never 
much heyond this. We have three species of 
Long Eared Bats :- 
1. Nyc tophilus geoffroyi . 
2. Nyctophilus geoffroyi paeificus (a sub-species 
of geoffroyi) 
The nose-leaf is highly developed on these hats, 
and the ears are very large. 
3. N yct op hilus aherrin i. 
A larger hat than geoffroyi with nose-leaf less 
developed, and ears not so big. The ears of 
this hat and of Nos. 1 and 2 are united across 
the top of the head by a thin membrane.
