The long-toothed pipistrelle is a small bat of the genus Hypsugo, with a forearm of 35.2–38.4 mm and a foot of 5.9–7 mm. It feeds on insects and has especially long canines compared with others of its genus (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is a medium-sized member of the genus, with short ears that are rounded at the tips, a short tragus with a squared tip, and wing membranes, ears and snout that are nearly black. As of 2014 it was known only from Laos and southern Vietnam, near rivers surrounded by lowland rainforest.
