Habitat. Mostly temperate habitats from arid steppes in Afghanistan to wooded areas in China and Japan, more tropical habitats in southern India (wet evergreen forests) and Sri Lanka, and mainly lower hilly country in Sri Lanka from sea level to elevations above 2000 m (Himalayas).

Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Asian Long-fingered Bat probably has a metapopulation structure, like other temperate species of Miniopterus. Displacement of 200 km was recorded in Japan that is of similar magnitude to those known in Europe for Schreibers’s Long-fingered Bat between different refuges used by the same population. Breeding colonies of up to 12,000 individuals are known in Japan, consisting almost entirely of adult females. Hibernation colonies can have up to 83,000 individuals, although they are usually much smaller. The colony in Robbers’ Cave in Western Ghats, India, contains 100,000 - 200,000 individuals in the breeding period, and it includes females and males with no apparent sexual segregation. This colony is considered the “ mother colony, ” which contains individuals from other “ secondary colonies ” usually within 70 km of the mother colony.

Status and Conservation. Not assessed as a separate species on The [UCNRed List, where itis included under Schreiber’s Long-fingered Bat (M. schreibersii) as Near Threatened.
