Taxonomy and etymologyThe Mount Missim long-eared bat was described as a new species by H. Parnaby in 2009. The holotype had been collected in 1988 on Mount Missim by H. Parnaby. The eponym for the species name "shirleyae" was H. Parnaby's mother, Shirley Jean Parnaby. H. Parnaby wrote that she was "a great admirer of the people of the Papua New Guinea nation and its biodiversity," in addition to a supporter of his childhood interest in mammals.[2] DescriptionIts forearm length is approximately {{cvt|46.8|mm|in}}. Individuals weigh {{cvt|11.5-13|g|oz}}.[2] Range and habitatIt is endemic to Papua New Guinea. It has been documented at elevations between {{cvt|500-1700|m|ft}} above sea level.[1] ConservationAs of 2017, it is assessed as a data deficient species by the IUCN. It is characterized as "very poorly known," though it suspected that its population size is decreasing due to habitat destruction. Additional surveys are necessary to determine its range and abundance.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal| last1=Parnaby| first1= H.| year= 2017| title= Nyctophilus shirleyae| journal= The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species| volume= 2017| page= e.T85289876A85289880| doi= 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2017-2.RLTS.T85289876A85289880.en}} {{Vespertilionidae|V.|Ny.}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q16583298}}2. ^1 {{cite journal|doi=10.7882/AZ.2009.005|title=A taxonomic review of Australian Greater Long-eared Bats previously known as Nyctophilus timoriensis (Chiroptera:Vespertilionidae) and some associated taxa|journal=Australian Zoologist|volume=35|pages=39–81|year=2009|last1=Parnaby|first1=H.
