Fur is short,silky and sparse, almost lacking across shoulders, dark brown, medium sepia-brown, pale brown or pale gray above, with pale gray or white frosting and flecking; underside is grayish brown or pinkish brown to silvery gray, frosted (subadults almost white) with no mid-ventral markings, but ventral flank-stripe is white or paler than underside; an orange morph is reddish to almost orange above. Wings are medium brown and uropatagium is dark brown. Upper lip has 5-6 well-defined wrinkles on each side and many spoon-hairs. Ears are blackish brown and relatively long (extending past muzzle when laid forward), inner margins of ears are joined across forehead by interaural band of skin bearing forward-shaped pocket containing erectile crest of long brown hairs, in both sexes. Tragus is small, squarish or hatchet-shaped, and concealed by antitragus, which is large and semicircular. Anterior palate is closed and basisphenoid pits are moderately deep. As is typical for

The Midas Free-tailed Bat is an open-air forager, having long, narrow wings with a high wing loading (11-4 N/m?®) and intermediate aspect ratio (8-9). Preliminary data from stomach contents of one animal, and the robust skull, mandible, and dentition, suggested that it feeds predominantly on beetles. In two studies conducted in a macadamia-growing area in

and Neuroptera (29% each), and Blattodea (25%). A total of 17 lepidopteran families were determined in the diet, of which six possessed tympani. One-half (40 out of 81) of the identified lepidopteran prey items belonged to one family,

. Both of these families comprise tympanate members (i.e. those with hearing organs). Based on recordings from individuals emerging from a known roost in the Soutpansberg of north-eastern
<collectingCountry box="[967,1139,1183,1216]" name="South Africa" pageId="36" pageNumber="655">South Africa</collectingCountry>
, echolocation calls are very low frequency (minimum frequency 14 kHz), long duration (10-15 milliseconds), and narrow bandwidth. Since this frequencyfalls below the optimal hearing range of tympanate moths, the Allotonic Frequency Hypothesis would predict that hearing moths would avoid detection by hunting Midas Free-tailed Bats and would therefore be largely absent from their diet. The dietary data related above appear to negate the predictions of the Allotonic Frequency Hypothesis.
