The Flores woolly bat (Kerivoula flora) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae.

Distribution[]

It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. The distribution of this species is believed in Borneo, Bali, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Sumba. Possibly the same or a very similar species can be found in Kon Kha Kinh and Pu Mat, Vietnam.[2]

The species is primarily dependent on forests, undergone a 30% population decline over the last ten years, in the lesser Sundras.
