Stalker’s Myotis is large, with extraordinarily large feet. Its color is similar to a small version of the Ghost Falsevampire (Macroderma gigas). In flight, overall impression of Stalker’s Myotisis that of a large, gracefulsilvery blue bat, with pale wings and pale belly. Upperparts are generally variable grayish brown, with silvery gloss; hairs are blackish, with dark brown tips. Head is somewhat grayer. Underparts strongly contrast upperparts, being creamy whitish with salty hairs for two-third their lengths. Limbs and membranes are uniform pale brown and entirely naked, except at base of tail. Uropatagium is not fringed as in the Pallid Large-footed Myotis ( M. macrotarsus ) and the Eurasian Pond Myotis ( M. dasycneme ). Ears are medium-sized. Tragus is long, narrow, and pointed, with well-marked external basal lobe. Feet are exceedingly large, with sharp laterally compressed claws. Philippine and Bornean Pallid Large-footed Myotis seems to be more brownish and smaller in some measurements (e.g. tragus length). Skull is generally large (greatest length of skull 19- 3 mm , type specimen). P’? is one-half the size of P* and intruded, and adjacent premolars almost in contact. P, small but in tooth row. Condylo-basal lengths are 17-6-18- 2 mm (three males from Waigeo), zygomatic breadths are 11-7- 12- 1 mm (three males from Waigeo), and maxillary tooth row length is 9- 1 mm (one male from Waigeo).	Limestone caves with tall forest in immediate vicinity and surrounding countryside dominated by heathland and low open forest on ultrabasic soil (Gebe) and surrounded by rainforest and water surfaces between small islets (Waigeo), only recorded below 250 m .	Stalker’s Myotisis considered to be water and cave dependent, possibly feeding on fish as suggested byits very large feet, powerful claws, and unfringed uropatagium.	On Gebe in November, one of two female Stalker’s Myotis carried a naked young, weighing 7 g . Six other individuals examined were subadults weighing 12-16 g that might have been born in the previous year. This suggests seasonal breeding, with births occurring in November—December. If this is correct, individuals do not reach sexual maturity until after the first year. Males caught on Waigeo had active testes in the beginning ofJuly.	Stalker’s Myotis are nocturnal.	A small colony of Stalker’s Myotis on Kai in 1993 shared the roost with Fawn-colored Leaf-nosed Bats (Hipposideros cervinus), Small Asian Sheath-tailed Bats (Emballonura alecto), Little Long-fingered Bats ( Miniopterus australis ), Indonesian Tomb Bats (7aphozous achates), and New Guinea Broadeared Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophus euryotis). Roosting colonies of up to 100 Stalker’s Myotis have been observed. On Gebe, a colony of ¢.100 individuals roosted in the apices of solution holes and inner chambers, sharing the cave with species of Miniopterus, Biak Leaf-nosed Bats (H. papua), and Raffray’s Sheath-tailed Bats E. raffrayana). On Waigeo, they were found in only one (Lopintol IT) of four caves surveyed and occurred on inner chamber of the cave, where it was hot and sticky and where some Miniopterus and New Guinea Broad-eared Horseshoe Bats raised their young. In this cave, Stalker’s Myotis was also associated with Beaufort’s Naked-backed Fruit Bats ( Dobsonia beaufortz ), Temminck’s Trident Bats (Aselliscus tricuspidatus), Hipposideros ct. maggietaylorae, New Guinea Broad-eared Horseshoe Bats, Maluku Myotis ( Myotis moluccarum ), and three species of Miniopterus .	Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Stalker’s Myotis might be declining, but there is a shortage of survey and ecological data to validate this. Disturbance at cave roosts might be a threat, and protection of known roosting sites and important foraging areas is needed.

Currently, the species is not close enough to the criteria thresholds to warrant a Near Threatened assessment, therefore Myotis stalkeri is assessed as Least Concern. However, this species should be monitored, and more data gathered on the relative sizes of each subpopulation and threats; if threats continue for this species, a future reassessment may result in it becoming Near Threatened or even threatened.	Myotis stalkeri is a cave roosting species that is assumed to primarily forages on fish due to its morphology, but it is likely that it also forages on insects on a regular basis as evidenced by (Aizpurua and Alberdi 2018), a trait that is common among fishing Myotis species. The species is assumed to forage over freshwater, and it is possible that it also forages above the sea. A species of Myotis was observed foraging above the seashore in Raja Ampat, but it is not known whether it was M. stalkeri or M. moluccarum (Bouillard N. pers. comm.). This species is known to roost alongside other bat species (Flannery 1995, Meining 2002). Individuals found on the Kai Islands in 1993 were in a small colony, sharing the roost with five other bat species (Flannery 1995). The colony on Gebe consisted of about 100 individuals in a limestone cave, surrounded by tall forest (Flannery 1995). At the time of the collection, one of two adult females collected was carrying a single young bat. Further, a cave roost on Waigeo was located near the sea and surrounded by tropical forest. ; The generation length of Myotis stalkeri is estimated to be 5.8 (Pacifici et al. 2013).	The threats to this species are not fully known, but likely includes habitat loss due to logging (Karin et al. 2018, Widyatmoko 2017) and disturbance of cave-roosts. One emerging threat that is likely to have a major impact on the species in the future is mining, an activity that is increasing on Eastern Indonesian islands such as Waigeo (Bailey and Pitcher 2008). Nickel mining in particular is likely to affect the water quality, and therefore its fish and insect populations of a significant number of freshwater ponds (Rathore et al. 2003, Pourkhabbaz et al. 2011, Mayani-Parás et al. 2019).	Little is known about the population size of Myotis stalkeri . It is believed to be a relatively uncommon species, with an estimated 10,000–11,000 mature individuals. The population is inferred to be declining due to the loss and degradation of its habitat threats from cave disturbance, logging, and mining throughout its range. It is believed to be organized into four (4) subpopulations based on its fragmented distribution among islands (Flannery 1995, Meinig 2002, Helgen 2007). The subpopulation on Waigeo island is projected to have more than 1,000 mature individuals. Cave roosts may have up to 100 individuals (Flannery 1995).	Unknown	This species has been recorded on four (4) islands in Indonesia with a total land area of less than 10,000 km². One of those islands is in the Malukus: Gebe (November 1991, Flannery 1995); two are in Raja Ampat: Waigeo and Batanta (2000 and 2005; Helgen 2007 and Meinig 2002); and the last one is in the Kai islands: Kai Kecil (1907 and 1993; Flannery 1995).  It has only been recorded below 250 m asl (Meinig 2002).	The species is not known to be hunted, used, or traded.	Terrestrial	This species is not believed to be present in any protected areas and there are no known species-specific conservation initiatives in place for the species. Research is needed to document the species’ population size and trends, ecology, habitat requirements and the impact of the suspected threats. Protection of known roosting sites and important foraging areas is needed.	Australasian		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023). Batnames.org Species List Version 1.4 (1.4).
