Indomalayan Lesser Bamboo Bat

The Indomalayan lesser bamboo bat (Blyth's bamboo bat) is a vesper bat of the genus Tylonycteris, whose name means padded bat. The name refers to the hairless, fleshy pads on the hands and feet that the bats use to grip bamboo, and the species in the genus roost within bamboo shoots. It was recognised as a full species, rather than a subspecies of another bamboo bat, in a 2014 study (Wikipedia, general account of the bamboo bats).

The cached account is about the genus as a whole and gives nothing on this species' appearance, range, diet or breeding, so this entry is limited to what is known of the genus.
