The pied bat (Niumbaha superba), or badger bat, is a rare species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. While not related in any way, the pied bat partly resembles a bee, with light yellow stripes and blotches on its body, the stripes being primarily on its back, but these are more vector-like and symmetrical and have more angles on each stripe. 

First discovered in 1939 in Belgian Congo, the species was, at that time, placed in the genus Glauconycteris under the name Glauconycteris superba. Following a 2013 capture in South Sudan, only the fifth recorded capture of the species, the pied bat was determined to be of a new genus entirely, Niumbaha, named after the Zande word for "rare". It is the only species in the genus Niumbaha.  

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ghana and South Sudan.
