Natalidae (long-legged bats; order Chiroptera, suborder Microchiroptera) A family of very agile, insectivorous bats in which the large uropatagium is supported by very long legs, calcars, and the tail which extends to its margin.

Indies, and in tropical S. America east of the Andes. There is one genus, Natalus, with about eight species.
