Plecotus turkmenicus is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
It has been assessed by the IUCN as least concern. [1]
The bat was considered a synonym or subspecies of P. austriacus by Strelkov. It was raised to species status in 2006 by Spitzenberger. [1]
The bat is found in the northwestern part of Karakum desert in Turkmenistan and the western Ustyurt plateau and Mangyshlak in Kazakhstan. It is found in temperate deserts.
The bats roost in natural caves and wells. [1]
The bat has been assessed as least concern by the IUCN due to its large range and population, and lack of significant population decline. The bat occurs in a few protected areas across its range. [1]
The genus Plecotus consists of the long-eared bats. Many species in the genus have only been described and recognized in recent years.
The long-tongued fruit bat is a species of megabat. It is nectarivorous, feeding on nectar from primarily banana flowers. It is found in several countries in South and Southeast Asia.

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".
