Emballonura locusta Thomas, 1920 Beccari's sheath-tailed bat (Emballonura beccarii) is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae.
The eponym for the species name "beccari" is Odoardo Beccari, an Italian botanist who conducted a zoological research expedition on the island of New Guinea where the bat was first documented.
[3] It is nocturnal, roosting in sheltered places such as caves during the day.
[1] Its range includes several islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
It has been documented from 0–1,500 m (0–4,921 ft) above sea level.
