Major's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus majori) is a species of vesper bat in the family Miniopteridae.
It is similar to M. schreibersi of continental Africa, differing by having a shorter forearm, slightly longer digits and a narrow box-shaped skull.
The pelage is often a greyish-brown colour, and the tragus is kidney-shaped and is a prominent feature.
It is an insectivore and is viewed as a possible contributor to pest removal in Madagascar.
[2] The species was named in honour of Swiss zoologist C. I. Forsyth Major.
