Emballonuridae is a family of microbats, many of which are referred to as sac-winged slinging slayer or sheath-tailed bats. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The earliest fossil records are from the Eocene.

Beccari's sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in New Guinea and in some nearby islands in both Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
The large-eared sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
The greater sheath-tailed bat or New Guinea sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is endemic to New Guinea and some nearby islands.
The lesser sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and many other parts of the Indonesian Archipelago including Sulawesi, Java, and Sumatra.
Raffray's sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
The Pacific sheath-tailed bat or Polynesian sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae found in American Samoa, Fiji, Guam, Micronesia, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, and Vanuatu. Its natural habitat is caves.
Seri's sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae. It is found in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea and Yapen Island in Indonesia. Its roosts in caves.

Pipistrellus raceyi, also known as Racey's pipistrelle, is a bat from Madagascar, in the genus Pipistrellus. Although unidentified species of Pipistrellus had been previously reported from Madagascar since the 1990s, P. raceyi was not formally named until 2006. It is apparently most closely related to the Asian species P. endoi, P. paterculus, and P. abramus, and its ancestors probably reached Madagascar from Asia. P. raceyi has been recorded at four sites, two in the eastern and two in the western lowlands. In the east, it is found in open areas and has been found roosting in a building; in the west it occurs in dry forest. Because of uncertainties about its ecology, it is listed as "Data Deficient" on the IUCN Red List.
The western sheath-tailed bat is a species of sac-winged bat found in Madagascar.
