Monotypic.	Tasmania .	Head—body 51-5-54 mm,tail 35-37 mm, ear 26-29 mm, forearm 43-9— 48 mm ; weight 9-8-18-9 g. The Tasmanian Long-eared Bat has verylarge 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 dark brown; venteris lighter brown. Rostrum, ears, and wing membranes are dark brown. Rostrum is short and blunt, with ridge across muzzle over nostrils that is poorly developed and low with shallow vertical groove. Ears are verylarge 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 at tip, being convex on anterior margin. Glans penis is divided by longitudinal groove into two cylinders, with upper one projecting to give distinctly beak-like appearance. Baculum is 4-4-5 mm long, with moderatelythin shaft (but thick in terms of Nyctophilus ) that constricts right before tip in dorsal view; tip is somewhat arrowhead-shaped, and base is stronglybifurcated; in lateral view, baculum is curved downward at base (where it is the thickest), but shaft is straight to narrowed tip. Skull is robust but relatively narrow, rostrum is also relatively narrow, zygoma is unexpanded, temporal region is relatively broad, braincaseis inflated, interpterygoid fossa are short, tympanic bullae are comparatively large, posterior part of palate is elongated, and M® and lower molars are not reduced.	Commonly wet sclerophyll forests but also swamps and forests of Acacia melanoxylon ( Fabaceae ) with 20m canopies and dense rainforest-like understories, dense tea trees up to 7 m high, montane Eucalyptus amygdalina ( Myrtaceae ) forest, and coastal mallee from sea level up to elevations of¢. 740 m .	Tasmanian Long-eared Bats are specialized to eat non-flying prey that is captured by gleaning in understories. They forage in the air and on the ground and have even been captured in pitfall traps, being the mostterrestrial species of longeared bat. They have very broad wings, are very slow fliers, but are agile and highly maneuverable in flight.	Tasmanian Long-eared Bats breed once a year in autumn. Spermatogenesis occurs in spring and summer, and sperm is stored in epididymides after testes regress. Twins are born in late spring and early summer, and lactation is usually finished by early February.	Tasmanian Long-eared Bats roost during the day in tree hollows, fissures in branches, and under dried sheets of bark still attached to dead trees. One individual was found roosting in a timber hut.	The Tasmanian Long-eared Bat probably roosts alone or in small groups, butit seems to create large maternity colonies during breeding season.	Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. The Tasmanian Long-eared Bat is considered relatively widespread, but virtually nothing is known about its ecology and threats. It is the least frequently recorded species of Tasmanian bat. Deforestation for eucalypt plantations, agriculture, and logging is probably a major threat.	Churchill (2008) | Driessen et al.

There is also evidence the species may be declining associated with ongoing loss of forest and woodland habitat, especially of old-growth eucalyptus forest (Woinarski et al. 2014). Habitat loss has been exacerbated by recent wildfires (Cawthen, L. pers. comm.) including those in 2019 which burnt 194,000 hectares of habitat (Wood 2019). The population is inferred to have declined by at least 10% over the last 16.8 years (three generations; genertaion length = 5.6 years; Pacifici et al. 2013).</a></p>	<p>This species is known from native bushland containing tracts of multi-aged Eucalyptus forest containing hollows. It is absent from urban parkland and agricultural areas showing a strong affinity for native habitat rather than man-made (e.g. roosting in buildings and foraging around street lights) (Cawthen 2013, Driessen et al. 2011). Nyctophilus sherrini is a slow flying bat species and is highly manoeuvrable foraging amongst dense undergrowth (i.e. broad leaf scrub) including close to the ground where it forages for insects. This species can be found foraging in native vegetation corridors amongst regrowth forest (L. Cawthen pers. comm). Females have a strong affinity to breeding areas and can be located in the same area between successive years. ; During the breeding season, females are known use multiple hollow-bearing trees to give birth and raise their young spanning an area of up 4.4ha. During the breeding season between December and February, breeding females form a maternal colony. Records indicate this can involve at least 48 individual bats, whereas non-breeding females and males can be found roosting individually, visiting the maternal colony occasionally. Females give birth to a single young (Cawthen 2013).</p>	<p>The loss of roosting habitat (hollow-bearing trees) through timber harvesting, plantation development, illegal wood harvesting, agricultural and urban expansion is a major threat to this species. Climate change, specifically more frequent fires and storm events throughout its known range, is also a threat to this species and the availability of forest habitat. </p>	<p>Nyctophilus sherrini is widespread and relatively rare within its range <a name="_Hlk15404007">(Driessen et al. 2011, L. Cawthen pers. comm). </a>An examination of trapping records, and data within the Tasmanian Natural Values Atlas, indicate that, while widespread, this species is rarely encountered compared to Nyctophilus geofforyi and other low to mid-level flying species that are more readily captured. Its population within Tasmania is considered relatively small compared to other bat species (Driessen et al. 2011, L. Cawthen pers. comm.) and, while poorly known, Woinarski et al. (2014) estimated that the population was "ca 10,000 mature individuals.” ; Recent additional losses of habitat due to wildfires and timber harvesting, combined with a lack of any new large colonies being found brings the current population estimate 8,000-10,000 mature individuals (L. Cawthen pers. comm).</p>	Decreasing	<p>This species is endemic to Tasmania, Australia.
