 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Vulnerable as N. timoriensis; IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Lower Risk (nt) as N. sherrini; but N. sherrini not listed in IUCN 2003 (lapsus)  
    Comments: This bat has been confused with the smaller gouldi in coastal SE Queensland. Reviewed by Hall and Richards (1979) and Kitchener et al. (1991d). Corbet and Hill (1992) discussed the problems associated with the Timor record. See also Flannery (1995a)  
    Nyctophilus timoriensis (E. Geoffroy, 1806) is considered a species inquirenda by Wilson and Mittermeier, eds. (2019)  
    "Vespertilio timoriensis Geoffroy is regarded as nomen dubium due to uncertainty surrounding provenance of the original specimen(s), the lack of a definite type specimen, and lack of sufficient detail in the original description and illustration to relate the name to a singular, currently recognized species" (Parnaby, 2009)
