The Great Evening Bat is very large and is challenged only by the African Schreber’s Yellow Bat ( Scotophilus nigrita ) as the largest vespertilionid. Subspecies peninsulata averages larger in external and skull measurements than nominate io. Dorsal pelage is dark smoky brown to dark brown; venter is dark grayish brown; subspecies peninsulata has whitish brown ring stretching across chest that is absent in nominate io. Ventral pelage extends onto a good part of wing membranes, and hair on flanks, ventral wing membrane, and genital region is orangish brown. Ears are relatively large, with rounded tips and hair densely covering dorsal surface and lightly covering part under anterior border, which is rounded with thickened anterior rim; posterior border of ear is somewhat wrinkled; and tragusis broad and slightly projected anteriorly, with bluntly rounded tip. Face and muzzle are naked and deep rosy smoky brown; muzzle has inflated glands on eitherside, with outward turned nostrils. Membranes are dark brown. Uropatagium extends from calcar at ankle to tip of long tail; calcar lacks lobe or has very weakly developed lobe. Baculum is ¢.1-8 mm and somewhat triangular without any bifurcation in nominate io and c.1-2 mm long and somewhat X-shaped with narrower tip than base, deep bifurcation at tip, and another more pronounced bifurcation at base in subspecies peninsulata. Skull is robust; sagittal crest is well developed; occiputis noticeably protruding up and back; palate is narrow; basisphenoid is longer than wide; I? is unicuspid but relatively large (one-third the height to C'); P* contacts C!; P? is minute and displaced inward; P, is rounded; and P, is erther rectangular (i0) or squarish (peninsulata) in outline.

Tropical moist forests including pristine mixed and deciduous forests in Thailand , wet evergreen forests and limestone karst regions in Vietnam , and pine forests in China at elevations of 200-1700 m.	The Great Evening Bat is a generalist insectivore/carnivore, feeding on small birds and arthropods. In Guizhou , China , feces from November, July, and September contained 82% birds (by volume), 85% Coleoptera in May, 44-6% birds and 48-7% Coleoptera in July, and 41-1% birds and 43-4% Coleoptera in September. Lepidoptera , Hemiptera , Orthoptera , and Hymenoptera were also found in feces. In Meghalaya , India , diets mainly include Coleoptera and birds but varied throughout the year, with Coleoptera being most prevalent in December, January, and April when birds were completely absent. Birds were most prevalent in March and were found in fewer samples in November and May. Other prey reported in the Indian samples included Lepidoptera (substantial in November and March) and traces of Diptera , Orthoptera , and Hemiptera . Stomach samples from peninsular Thailand included 90% Coleoptera , with no birds.	In Sichuan , China , 83% of female Great Evening Bats collected in late April were pregnant, each with one embryo.	Great Evening Bats are nocturnal and roost exclusively in caves. Call shape is steep FM sweep, with multiple harmonics. In peninsular Thailand (peninsulata), start frequencies 76-5-92-3 kHz, end frequencies 11-8-14-2 kHz, and peak frequencies 23-6-27-4 kHz. In Myanmar (io), start frequencies 80-9-82-9 kHz, end frequencies 14-9-16-3 kHz, and peak frequencies 26-33-9 kHz.	Great Evening Bats generally roost in small groups. In China , 55 individuals were captured from a single cave, and a cave with c.100 individuals is known from Nepal . In peninsular Thailand , a roost was recorded with four individuals that shared their cave with Greater Asian False-vampires (Lyroderma lyra) in inner parts of the cave and Pendlebury’s Leaf-nosed Bats (Hipposideros pendleburyi) and Black-bearded Tomb Bats (Zaphozous melanopogon) in the first chamber of the cave.

This species is threatened by deforestation, resulting from logging operations and the conversion of land to agricultural and other uses. The decline is expected to continue due to ongoing development in its cave roosts throughout the species range.	This species is associated with tropical moist forest, where it is exclusively a cave roosting species. It has been found in areas of pristine mixed and deciduous forest (Thailand), wet evergreen forest (Viet Nam). It has often been reported from limestone karst areas however, it is found in non-limestone areas in Viet Nam (Thong pers. comm). This species hunts some small birds, which is considered as carnivorous bat (Thabah et al.  2007).	In South Asia, this species is threatened by deforestation, generally resulting from logging operations and the conversion of land to agricultural and other uses. It is also threatened by disturbance to roosting sites by humans (Molur et al. 2002). In Southeast Asia there are no major threats to this species. It may be locally threatened by general habitat degradation. The cave development for tourism has been responsible for declines in populations in China (Han and He 2012).	The largest known population is of close to a hundred animals in Nepal (G. Csorba pers. comm). In Thailand, the known populations hold up to about 20 individuals (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm). In southern China, the known population size is about 80 individuals in five caves (T. Jiang pers. comm. August 2018).	Decreasing	This widespread species has been recorded from Sundaic subregion (Surat Thani Province and Phang Nga Province, peninsular Thailand), northern South Asia, much of southern and central China, and northern Southeast Asia. In South Asia this species is presently known from India (Assam and Meghalaya) and Nepal (Western Nepal) (Molur et al.  2002, Soisook et al.  2017). In China, it has been recorded from Sichuan, Guizhou, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Guangdong and Hubei (Smith and Xie 2008, Jiang et al.  2015). In Southeast Asia, it ranges from Myanmar in the west, eastwards into Thailand, Lao PDR and Viet Nam. It has been recorded at elevations of 200 m to 1,700 m asl.		Terrestrial	In South Asia there are no direct conservation measures in place for this species, and the species has not been recorded from any protected areas. In Southeast Asia, it has been recorded from some protected areas. In South Asia, further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, reproduction, ecology and threats of this species. Populations of this species should be monitored to record changes in abundance and distribution (Molur et al. 2002).	Indomalayan		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
