An adult Saccolaimus saccolaimus Temminck, 1838 is described here with morphometric measurements in detail. The present species though showed morphological similarities with the species reported from India and abroad but it bears an exceptional character, a white oval pad at the base of the thumb. A comparative note of the species found in India and other countries are also presented here with a suggestion to rethink the IUCN status of the species "Least Concern" in India.
