The eastern barbastelle, or Asian barbastelle, is a vesper bat found throughout much of Asia, from Afghanistan south through the Himalayas and east through China as far as Taiwan and south to Vietnam. There is a single dubious record from Tamil Nadu in southern India (Wikipedia, general species account).
Its range is thought to comprise mountainous areas at moderate elevations, where it inhabits montane temperate and subtropical forests. It likely roosts in caves, rock crevices and tree hollows, and has been recorded foraging over streams (Wikipedia, general species account).
