In Pakistan, it appears to have associated with possible mesic conditions in the Himalayan, moist temperate forest zone. It is very numerous and probaily does not appear to be highly gregarious. Only two species have been reported from two provinces of Afghanistan i. e. Paktia province (Meyer-Oehme, 1965) and Jalalabad (Gaisler, 1970). It is very rare in Afghanistan while not reported from Iran yet. On 18 th March a male was reported near Jalalabad which are very active sexually (Gaisler, 1970). This medium sized insectivorous bat specializes with aerial for fast hawking and their body (forearm length 40 - 47 mm, body mass 9 - 20 g was reviewed by Bogdanowicz and Ruprecht, 2004). This species emerges in early to hunt, like many of the Pipistrellus species and often active before sunset. They have strong and superb flight and feed from small to medium-sized insects (Nematocera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera (Nowak, 1991; Beck, 1995; Vaughan, 1997; Shiel et al., 1998, Waters et al., 1999; Fuhrmann et al., 2002). Exclusively they built roosts in tree-hollows (Ruczyñski and Bogdanowicz, 2005), except Ireland, where nursery colonies occupy roof attics (Shiel et al., 1999). The purpose of present study is to broaden the scope to understanding about the morphology and distribution of N. leisleri in Pakistan.	en	Hussain, I., Ahmed, S. A.
