Lesser long-eared bat
The lesser long-eared bat (''Nyctophilus geoffroyi'') is a species of vesper bat. It is found only in Australia.
==Taxonomy==
The lesser long-eared bat falls into the category of a microbat, and more specifically, a vesper bat.〔(Nyctophilus geoffroyi ) The IUCN Red List of Endangered Species〕〔(Lesser Long-eared bat ) Australian Museum〕
It has been suggested that microbats such as the lesser long-eared bat evolved independently from megabats, and do not have a common ancestor. Their wing structure and ability to fly is an analogous feature, as they have both evolved the structure independently due to a similar habitat but not because they are closely related. There are not many other similar features between the bats — microbats mostly eat insects, are nocturnal, have poorly developed eyes and large ears, whereas megabats mostly eat fruit and nectar, are not nocturnal and have well-developed eyes. Megabats have many characteristics that suggest they are sister taxa to primates but microbats, including lesser long eared bats are more separated on the evolutionary tree. There is also some genetic evidence to support this.
