Material examined: ♂ ZSIS-298, ♂ ZSIS-299, ♂ ZSIS-300, ♂ ZSIS-301, ♀ ZSIS-302, ♀ ZSIS-303 Krem Labit 2, E.J.H.,
Meghalaya, Coll. U. Saikia, 12.11.2014 and three released individuals from Krem Khlieshnong .
Remarks: This species has recently been reported from India by Ruedi et al. 2012. During this study, this bat was found to be very abundant in Krem Labit 2 with a population of many hundreds animals. A few individuals were also caught at the mouth of Krem Khlieshnong. Based on re-examination of the material in ZSIS, earlier records of Miniopterus schreibersii from Siju cave in South Garo Hills ( Sinha, 1999) are also found to represent this species. Therefore, this species may be quite widespread and abundant in the state.
