Myotis australis (Australian myotis)

Synonyms: Vespertilio australis

Wikipedia Abstract

The Australian myotis (Myotis australis) is a species of vesper bat. It is found only in Australia. The validity of this species is doubtful; it is known from a single specimen, supposedly from New South Wales, that may be mislabelled or a vagrant Myotis muricola or Myotis ater.
