The Sumatran mastiff bat is a free-tailed bat (Molossidae) known only from Sumatra. It was described in 1907 and has not been recorded since. The holotype was collected at Soekaranda in Deli Serdang Regency, northwest Sumatra, below 250 m above sea level. Andersen wrote that it was most similar in appearance to Peters's wrinkle-lipped bat (Wikipedia, general species account).
