The least pipistrelle is a tiny vesper bat with a head and body of 6 to 7 cm, a wingspan of 18 to 24 cm and a weight of 6 to 8 g, females being larger than males. It is dark brown to black above and paler below, with black wing membranes, dense short silky fur, small ears with prominent tragi and a short broad muzzle, and it lacks the pale wing margins of the Indian pipistrelle (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is found from sea level to about 769 m, over a wide range from Afghanistan and Pakistan through South Asia to Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and East Timor. No diet or roost information was found for this entry (Wikipedia, general species account).
