Bocharic Myotis
The Bocharic myotis or Bokhara whiskered bat (''Myotis bucharensis'') is a species of mouse-eared bat in the family Vesper bat, Vespertilionidae, described in 1950, and indigenous to Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Taxonomy The Bocharic myotis was species description, described as a new subspecies of ''Myotis longicaudatus'' in 1950 by Alexander Petrovitch Kuzyakin (also known as Aleksandr Petrovich Kuzâkin). The holotype had been collected near Kurgan-Tjubinskaja in Tajikistan. When ''M. longicaudatus'' was later recognized as a synonym (taxonomy), synonym of the fraternal myotis, the Bocharic myotis had a trinomen of ''Myotis frater bucharensis''. Publications in 2000 and 2001 reasserted its status as a full species rather than a subspecies, however. Based on the analysis of two genes, one nuclear gene, nuclear and one mitochondrial DNA, mitochondrial, the Bocharic myotis is part of a species complex including the fraternal myotis. Its sister taxon is likely the long-tailed myotis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mouse-eared Bat
The mouse-eared bats or myotises are a diverse and widespread genus (''Myotis'') of bats within the family Vespertilionidae. The noun "''myotis''" itself is a New Latin construction, from the Greek "''muós'' (meaning "mouse") and "''oûs''" (meaning ear), literally translating to "mouse-eared". Relationships ''Myotis'' has historically been included in the subfamily Vespertilioninae, but was classified in its own subfamily, Myotinae, by Nancy Simmons in 1998. In her 2005 classification in ''Mammal Species of the World'', Simmons listed the genera ''Cistugo'' and ''Lasionycteris'' in the Myotinae in addition to ''Myotis'' itself.Simmons, 2005, p. 499 However, molecular data indicate that ''Cistugo'' is distantly related to all other Vespertilionidae, so it was reclassified into its own family, the Cistugidae, and that ''Lasionycteris'' belongs in the Vespertilioninae.Roehrs et al., 2010 The genus '' Submyotodon'' has since been added to the subfamily, making it and ''Myotis'' it ...
