The Philippine long-fingered bat (Miniopterus paululus) is a species of bat from the family Miniopteridae. The species is listed as "Data Deficient" on the IUCN Red List due to lack of information about population, ecology, distribution, and threats.[1] The Philippine long-fingered bat is native to Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Timor-Leste.[1] Due to the dubious taxonomic status of the Philippine long-fingered bat, it has been suggested that the species remain classified as a subspecies of the little bent-wing bat.[1]
