B. Meyer, 1899, “Tomohon, Minahassa, Nord Celébes [= north Sulawesi],” Indonesia. Taxonomic affinities of P. minahassae are uncertain, but it was placed close to P. ceylonicus based on morphology by J. E. Hill and D. L. Harrison in 1987. Additional research is needed. Monotypic. Distribution. Known only confidently from holotype in NE part of N Peninsula of Sulawesi; there are apparently records from Tolai and Rurukan, N Sulawesi, and two other specimens from Tobelo, N Sulawesi, which are all located near type locality, but all of these specimens need to be reexamined to determine whether or not they truly represent this species. Descriptive notes. Head-body ¢. 59 mm, tail ¢. 37 mm, ear 14 mm, hindfoot 10 mm, forearm 36 mm (type specimen). Pelage of the Minahassa Pipistrelle is short, shiny, and velvety.
