N coast of Western Australia and Kimberley region (including Bonaparte Archipelago), N Northern Territory (including Tiwi Is, Groote Eylandt, and Sir Edward Pellew Group), and NW Queensland ; a specimen was recently recorded from NE Queensland in Cape York, but it needs to be verified.	Head-body 40-59 mm, tail 35-641 mm, ear 16-21-5 mm, forearm 33-2-39-9 mm; weight 5-2-9-6 g. The Northern Long-eared Bat has very large ears and unique simple noseleaf consisting of two ridges, one further on muzzle and another immediately above nostrils, with vertical groove in middle and furred trough between them. Dorsal pelage is generally light russet-brown butis occasionally rich dark brown (hairs have dark bases), which shades on side toslightly lighter venter thatis not distinctly different. Face, ears, and wing membranes are medium brown. Rostrum is short and blunt, with ridge across muzzle over nostrils that is moderately developed, consisting of two rounded mounds separated medially by thin vertical groove. Ears are very large and broad, with bluntly rounded tips, horizontal ribbing on inner surfaces, inward curved anterior edges, and smooth posterior edges (ears can fold back at top of thick part of anterior edge); large and furred interauricular band crosses forehead between ears; tragus is small and bluntly rounded attip, being convex on anterior margin. Glans penis is a square-ended cylinder, with flat circular urethral opening on underside near tip. Baculum has moderately thin shaft in dorsal view; tip is deeply bifurcated, and base is strongly bifurcated; in lateral view, baculum is curved downward at base but shaft is straight to pointed tip. Skull is robust; tympanic bullae are small; skull is similar to that of the Eastern Long-eared Bat ( N. bifax ) in general morphology; and M? and lower molars are only moderately reduced.	Typically wet habitats such as mangrove forests, monsoon forests, rainforest patches, open savanna woodlands, tall open forests, and Melaleuca ( Myrtaceae ) and Pandanus ( Pandanaceae ) lined streams, waterholes, and swamps. Northern Longeared Bats are generally found in areas that receive more than 500 mm of rain/year.	Northern Long-eared Bats primarily forage by gleaning off the ground and foliage and might also catch prey aerially. They are relatively slow fliers ( 5 km /h most of the time) but can reach top speeds of 16 km /h. Foraging usually occurs close to and among dense vegetation, and they are highly maneuverable in cluttered areas. Diet in the Top End region consisted largely of termites, water beetles, cockroaches, crickets, and true bugs and occasionally moths and spiders. They reportedly feed on geckos and gecko eggs, but this requires additional verification.	Male Northern Long-eared Bats with scrotal testes have been reported in May-November and pregnant females in September—November. Females apparently give birth to twins from late October to February.	Northern Long-eared Bats roost during the day under bark of large paperbark trees ( Melaleuca ), within foliage, and among Pandanus leaves. They have also been reported roosting in houses. They spend the night foraging. Call shape 1s very steep FM sweep, with peak frequencies of 50-52 kHz (mean 50-8 kHz).	The Northern Long-eared Bat probably roosts in small groups.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Northern Long-eared Bat is widespread and does not seem to face any major threats.

This species has been recorded in rainforest patches, open Eucalyptus forests, in mangroves, and over freshwater lagoons and waterholes (McKenzie and Churchill 2008). At least west of, and including, the Dampier Peninsula, it has only been found in mangroves (N. McKenzie pers. comm.). It has been found roosting in foliage and under the roof of a house (McKenzie and Churchill 2008). Females may give birth to a litter of two young.	There appear to be no major threats to this species although inappropriate fire regimes may affect prey abundance.	It is common throughout its known range and is presumed to have a stable global population.	Stable	This species is endemic to northern Australia, where it is found in the tropical parts of the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland (H. Parnaby pers. comm.), Northern Territory, and Kimberley and along the coast of Western Australia. It is also present on offshore islands of the Melville, Bonaparte Archipelago, Groote Eylandt, and the Sir Edward Pellew Group (McKenzie and Churchill 2008). There is at least one record from the tip of the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, so it may be more widely distributed (T. Reardon pers. comm.), but the taxonomy of this species requires clarification (H. Parnaby pers. comm.).		Terrestrial	This species is present in a number of protected areas.
