 Miniopterus tao is a fossil bat in the genus Miniopterus from the Pleistocene of Zhoukoudian in China . It is known from a number of mandibles ( lower jaws ) , which were initially identified as the living species Miniopterus schreibersii in 1963 before being recognized as a separate species , M. tao , in 1986 . Miniopterus tao is larger than living M. schreibersii and has a more robust mandible with a broader zygomatic process .
