The Flores woolly bat (Kerivoula flora) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae.
It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. The distribution of this species is believed in Borneo, Bali, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Sumba. Possibly the same or a very similar species can be found in Kon Kha Kinh and Pu Mat, Vietnam. [1]
The species, primarily dependent on forests, has undergone a 30% population decline over the last ten years, in the lesser Sundras.
The Abo bat is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in several countries in West Africa and Central Africa. It is found in subtropical and tropical dry and moist lowland forests.

It is found only in Papua New Guinea, and is only endemic to the islands, not the mainland. The species has been recorded on the islands of Fergusson, Vanatinai, Woodlark, and Misima. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
The Ethiopian woolly bat is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in Ethiopia.
The small woolly bat is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in Malaysia and is little known. It is only slightly larger than the Kitti's hog-nosed bat, one of the smallest mammals in the world. The small woolly bat weighs 2.5 to 4 g.

This species also presents a unique variant of echolocation that is a higher intensity and lower frequency than most other kerivoula calls. The short range calls are distinguishable from the long range orientational echolocation calls by peak frequency and duration.
