Autumn deposition of white fat makes abdominal and uropatagial regions markedly light colored. Noseleaf is pointed, with distinct transverse dermal ridge. Skull is slender, nasal swelling is rounded, and dorsal surface of nasal swelling is flat without distinct lateral crests and central groove. Sagittal crestis relatively low, usually restricted to frontal region only. Palatal notch is rounded, extending to level of M* protocone. C' is elongated, with distinct distal cusp usually in contact with mesial cusp of P*. Talon of P* is broad, with high cingular wall terminating in distinct mesiopalatal cusp. Talons of M' and M? are quite robust, with uplifted palatal emargination extended distally up to mesial margins of neighboring tooth.

Lesser Mouse-tailed Bats usually leave roosts 10-15 minutes after sunset, hunting in open spaces at heights of 10-15 m. They emerge from colony roosts in large groups. Prior to emergence, activity of colony increases with intensive audible vocalization and regrouping to spaces close to roost exit. Except for the southern Indian population, individuals are inactive in winter and often in large mixed colonies with the Greater Mouse-tailed Bat (up to 7000 individuals reported from

When landing, repetition rate increases up to 40 Hz, and calls change to short (3-5 milliseconds) frequency-modulated (FM) notes with 5-10 kHz sweeps of particular harmonics.

Scarce data indicate sexual segregation in summer throughout the distribution range, but it is probablyless strict than in the Greater Mouse-tailed Bat. Roost occupancy of Lesser Mouse-tailed Bats is characterized by a pronounced fission—fusion dynamics: in most instances, a colony is dispersed into a number (up to 80) of neighboring diurnal roosts, each occupied by few individuals or smaller groups of 10-40 individuals. Individuals generally roost away from each of other and do not form compact clusters. Total size of a colony varies from ten to 1000 individuals, with the vast majority of records reporting colonies of 20-100 individuals.

Annuallife cycle and life history patterns of the Lesser Mouse-tailed Bat in that region was studied in detail by K. Usman during three years of monitoring of a colony of 1500 individuals roosting in a cave in Madurai (3502 bats handled, 1000 banded, and 1299 recoveries). The cave was inhabited throughoutthe year, bats stay active throughout the year, and no migrations or seasonal changes in spatial organization of the colony were observed. Males and females were segregated in the roost even during non-breeding season. Males dominated in all samples; male:female sex ratios were 1:0-43-1:0-5. Synchronization of individual stages of reproduction was clearly less distinct than in the northern populations. Annual mortality rates established by marking-recapture data were 0-09-0-13, annual birth rates of the colony were 0-14-0-15, and probability of survival over the years of study was 0-8, with small differences between sexes.
