Wikipedia Abstract

The inland broad-nosed bat (Scotorepens balstoni), also known as the western broad-nosed bat, is a species of vesper bat. It is endemic to Australia and is widespread throughout the inland, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This insectivorous microbat, measuring 12 cm in length, roosts in tree hollows during the day and forages over woodland and water at night.
