Summary

The Christmas Island Pipistrelle Pipistrellus murrayi is an endemic bat species that is listed as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Due to taxonomic uncertainty the phylogenetic relationship of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle with closely related Southeast Asia and northern Australia taxa requires resolution.

Currently there are no estimates of the population size of the species.
