The chocolate wattled bat (Chalinolobus morio) is a species of vesper bat from the family Vespertilionidae. It is found only in Australia and Tasmania,[2] but it is endemic to those regions and is widespread, especially in southern regions.[1] It is known to reside from sea level to at least 1,570 metres (5,150 ft) in Victoria.[1]

The species is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, there are no apparent threats to it, and it occurs in multiple protected areas.[1] There are three synonyms for the chocolate wattled bat: Chalinolobus australis, Chalinolobus microdon, and Chalinolobus signifer,[2] and more taxonomic research needs to be done to isolated populations.[1]

The species is found from rainforests to treeless plains and inhabits a wide variety of other environments, roosting in tree hollows, caves, and even buildings.[1] The colonies that they form may have anywhere from ten to more than one thousand members, and females usually give birth to a single young.[1]
