Diet includes beetles and cockroaches.	Long-winged Sheath-tailed Bats are bom in midJanuary and mid-May. At Varanasi, India, spermatogenesis occurs in September, with appearance of spermatozoa. Spermatogenic arrest occurs in winter dormancy in December and is followed by a second peak of spermatogenesis inJanuary that coincides with ovulation in females. A third peak of spermatogenesis begins in late April, and tubules are found completely regressed after May. Cycle of accessory sex glands generally parallels testicular cycle, reaching maximum hypertrophy in September-January and again in late April. Thereafter, accessory sex glands are involuted. Spermatozoa are present in cauda epididymis throughout the year.	The Long-winged Sheath-tailed Bat roosts in caves, tunnels, abandoned human structures (e.g. forts, dungeons, and wells), and hollows and crowns of trees including palms and banyan figs { Ficus benghalensis , Moraceae ) and under large rocks and eaves of houses. It emerges from roosts very early in the evening and flies fast as it forages.	The Long-winged Sheath-tailed Bat roosts alone or in colonies that can number hundreds of individuals.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Longwinged Sheath-tailed Bat has a large distribution and presumably large and stable overall population, occurs in protected reserves, and is tolerant of habitat modification. Although populations generally are thought to be stable, some scattered local populations might be decreasing. In South Asia, the Long-winged Sheath-tailed Bat occurs in Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary inJharkhand and Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, and it likely is present in most protected areas in peninsular India and many in South-east Asia.

Throughout its range this species is found in varied habitats from arid areas to humid zones. It roosts in caves, old tunnels, caves created due to mud excavation, old forts, dungeons (C. Srinivauslu pers. comm.), large wells, hollows and crowns of trees, eaves of houses. It roosts in colonies from single animals to hundreds of bats. It is an early and fast flyer and feeds on cockroaches and beetles. There are two breeding seasons-one in mid January and the other in mid May (Bates and Harrison 1997).	Overall there appear to be no major threats to this species. In South Asia, some populations may be threatened due to disturbance to roosting sites by humans (Molur et al. 2002), while in Southeast Asia, disturbance from guano mining is a localised threat to some populations.	In South Asia, it is widespread living in large colonies in the hundreds. In many places the populations are considered to be stable (C. Srinivasulu pers. comm.). In Southeast Asia, the species is locally common, with colonies consisting of hundreds of bats in Cambodia (G. Csorba pers. comm.).	Stable	This species is widespread in South Asia and Southeast Asia. In South Asia, it has been recorded from Bangladesh (location unknown), India (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal), Nepal (location unknown), and Sri Lanka (Eastern, Northern, Uva and Western provinces) (Bates and Harrison 1997, Khan 2001, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2005, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2012). In Southeast Asia, it ranges from Myanmar in the west, into northern Thailand and Cambodia. It is present in Indonesia on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and Flores and is also present on the island of Borneo (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia). It has been recently recorded from Lao PDR (Douangboubpha et al. 2014). It has been recorded to occur up to 1,200 m asl.		Terrestrial	In South Asia, although there are no direct conservation measures in place, it is likely to be present in most of the protected areas in peninsular India (C. Srinivasulu pers. obs.). In Southeast Asia, in view of its wide range it probably occurs in some protected areas. Further studies are needed into the taxonomy, distribution, abundance, reproduction and ecology of this species.	Indomalayan		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
