Nyctophilus howensis McKean 1975 View in CoL , Aust. Mammal., 1: 330.

Type Locality: Australia, Lord Howe Isl, North Bay.

Vernacular Names: Lord Howe Island Long-eared Bat.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Extinct.

Discussion: Known only from the holotype, a fossil found in a cave on Lord Howe Isl. McKean (1975) suggested that this species may have survived into historic times on the basis of Etheridge's (1889) statement that a bat larger than Chalinolobus morio was occasionally seen on the island.
