starts withOverall, the Bismarck trumpet-eared bat is similar in appearance to Hardwicke's woolly bat. It has a forearm length of 35.5–38.4 mm (1.40–1.51 in).
It is found in Papua New Guinea, though its range may also include Indonesia. It has been documented at a range of 0–500 m (0–1,640 ft) above sea level.
It is an echolocating species with frequency modulation of its calls. The calls are broadband, with very slight curvature of the downward sweep of call frequencies. Its echolocation calls have low energy, meaning that it is unlikely to be detected by acoustic detectors unless it passes close to the device's microphone.
As of 2008, it is evaluated as a Vulnerable species by the IUCN. It meets the criteria for this designation regarding its population size, ecological requirements, and threats it may be facing.
