The common thick-thumbed bat (Glischropus tylopus) is a species of vesper bat found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand.
The common thick-thumbed bat was described as a new species in 1875 by George Edward Dobson. He placed it in the now-defunct genus Vesperugo, with a binomial of Vesperugo tylopus. The holotype had been collected in northern Borneo. [2] The collector of the holotype is unknown. [3]
The common thick-thumbed bat has a forearm length of 28–31 mm (1.1–1.2 in), a tail length of 32–36 mm (1.3–1.4 in), and an ear length of 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in). Individuals weigh 3.7–4.8 g (0.13–0.17 oz). The fur on the back is darker brown and shaggy, with the underside paler. The base of the thumbs and the soles of the feet have thickened pads that may be white or pink in color. [4]
The common thick-thumbed bat is nocturnal, frequently roosting in dead or damaged bamboo stalks, rock crevices, or banana leaves during the day. [5]
The common thick-thumbed bat lives in forested environments in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brunei. [1]
The spotted-winged fruit bat is the smallest megabat in the world. It inhabits forests in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The long-tongued nectar bat, also known as the northern blossom bat, honey nectar bat, least blossom-bat, dagger-toothed long-nosed fruit bat, and lesser long-tongued fruit bat, is a species of megabat. M. minimus is one of the smallest species in the family Pteropodidae, with an average length of 60–85 mm. It has a reddish-brown colouring with relatively long hair compared to the other species. The hair on the abdomen is a lighter colour, and a dark brown stripe runs bilaterally down the top of the head and back.
The dayak fruit bat or dyak fruit bat is a relatively rare frugivorous megabat species found only on the Sunda Shelf of southeast Asia, specifically the Malay Peninsula south of the Isthmus of Kra, and the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. There are three species in the genus Dyacopterus: D. spadiceus, D. brooksi and D. rickarti. All are found in the forests of Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Few specimens of any of the three species exist, due not only to their rarity, but also because they rarely enter the sub-canopy of the forest where they can be caught in scientists' nets.
The Javan or Eastern pipistrelle is a species of pipistrelle bat found in South and Southeast Asia.
Botta's serotine is a species of vesper bat, one of 25 in the genus Eptesicus. It is found in rocky areas and temperate desert.
Blanford's bat, also known as the least false-serotine bat, is a species of vesper bat. It can be found in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, where it lives in various different forested habitats. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

The ashy roundleaf bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The large Asian roundleaf bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. The specific name commemorates Thai zoologist and conservationist Boonsong Lekagul.
The large flying fox, also known as the greater flying fox, Malayan flying fox, Malaysian flying fox, large fruit bat, kalang, or kalong, is a southeast Asian species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. Despite its scientific name, it feeds exclusively on fruits, nectar, and flowers, like the other flying foxes of the genus Pteropus. It is noted for being one of the largest bats. As with nearly all other Old World fruit bats, it lacks the ability to echolocate but compensates for it with well-developed eyesight.
The intermediate horseshoe bat is a bat species of the family Rhinolophidae that is very widespread throughout much of the Indian subcontinent, southern and central China and Southeast Asia. It is listed by IUCN as Least Concern as it is considered common where it occurs, without any known major threats.
The Bornean horseshoe bat is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. It is found in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

Hipposideros atrox, commonly known as the lesser bicolored leaf-nosed bat, is a species of bat found in Southeast Asia. Originally described as a subspecies in 1918, it was recognized as a full species in 2010. It uses echolocation to navigate and find prey, and roosts in caves during the day.
Neoromicia grandidieri, known by the common names of Dobson's pipistrelle and yellow pipistrelle, is a species of vesper bat found in Africa. It was formerly in the genus Pipistrellus
