Falsistrellus
''Falsistrellus'' is a genus of vespertilionid family of bats, small predatory flying mammals. They are known from Australia. The poorly researched species have been variously placed by authors, and revised again by studies of their distinct characteristics, consequently the falsistrelles may also be referred to as pipistrelles or false pipstrelles. Taxonomy Common names for the species include falsistrelle and false pipistrelle. The description of the genus was published in 1943 by Ellis Le Geyt Troughton. Some authorities maintain the earlier treatment of taxa as genus ''Pipistrellus'', while other maintain this as a separate group. One revision of the genus ''Pipistrellus'' resurrected Troughton's genus to accommodate the south-eastern Australian ''Falsistrellus tasmaniensis'' and elevated the south-western Australian pupulation as a new species, '' Falsistrellus mackenziei''. The type species of the genus is ''Vespertilio tasmaniensis'', described by John Gould in 1858 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Falsistrellus Mackenziei
The western false pipistrelle, species ''Falsistrellus mackenziei'', is a vespertilionid bat that occurs in Southwest Australia. The population is declining due to loss of its habitat, old growth in tall eucalypt forest which has largely been clear felled for tree plantations, wheat cultivation and urbanisation. Although it is one of the largest Australian bats of the family, the species was not recorded or described until the early 1960s. A darkly colored bat with reddish brown fur and prominent ears, they fly rapidly around the upper canopy of trees in pursuit of flying insects. Taxonomy A species of genus ''Falsistrellus'', allied to the family Vespertilionidae. A 1986 revision of morphological characters of the genus ''Pipistrellus'' separated the ''tasmaniensis'' group as the type of the new genus, the eastern false pipistrelle species ''Falsistrellus tasmaniensis'', and described this new species ''Falsistrellus mackenziei'' (western false pipistrelle).

Eastern False Pipistrelle
The eastern false pipistrelle (''Falsistrellus tasmaniensis'') is a vesper bat that occurs in eastern and south-eastern Australia, including the island of Tasmania. Taxonomy A species of genus ''Falsistrellus'', allied to the family Vespertilionidae. The bats are distinguished from a western species, '' Falsistrellus mackenziei'', by the common names eastern false pipistrelle and eastern falsistrelle. The first description was published by John Gould in his third volume of ''Mammals of Australia'', issued in 1858. It is the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ... for the genus ''Falsistrellus''.

The Peters's pipistrelle (''Hypsugo petersi'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Pipistrellus
''Pipistrellus'' is a genus of bats in the family Vespertilionidae and subfamily Vespertilioninae. The name of the genus is derived from the Italian language, Italian word , meaning "bat" (from Latin "bird of evening, bat"). The size of the genus has been considerably reduced as a result of work during the 1990s and 2000s, with genera such as ''Arielulus'', ''Hypsugo'', ''Falsistrellus'', ''Neoromicia'', ''Parastrellus'', ''Perimyotis'', ''Scotozous'', and ''Vespadelus'' being split off. Still, Molecular phylogenetics, molecular evidence suggests the genus is not monophyletic. Several other genera in the subfamily Vespertilioninae have also been merged with ''Pipistrellus'' in previous classifications. Species in the genus may be referred to as "pipistrelles" or "pipistrelle bats", though these terms are also used for species now placed in other genera, such as the western pipistrelle (''Parastrellus hesperus'') and eastern pipistrelle (''Perimyotis subflavus'') of North Americ ...

Vespertilionid
Vespertilionidae is a family of microbats, of the order Chiroptera, flying, insect-eating mammals variously described as the common, vesper, or simple nosed bats. The vespertilionid family is the most diverse and widely distributed of bat families, specialised in many forms to occupy a range of habitats and ecological circumstances, and it is frequently observed or the subject of research. The facial features of the species are often simple, as they mainly rely on vocally emitted echolocation. The tails of the species are enclosed by the lower flight membranes between the legs. Over 300 species are distributed all over the world, on every continent except Antarctica. It owes its name to the genus ''Vespertilio'', which takes its name from a word for bat, ', derived from the Latin term ' meaning 'evening'; they are termed "evening bats" and were once referred to as "evening birds". (The term "evening bat" also often refers more specifically to one of the species, '' Nycticeius humer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ellis Le Geyt Troughton (born in Sydney on 29 April 1893; died 30 November 1974) was an Australian zoologist and mammalogist. Biography Ellis Troughton began to exercise his interest in mammals at fourteen years of age, taking a role at the Australian Museum in 1908. He continued to be employed there as curator after returning from military service as a stretcher bearer in the European war during the years 1917 and 1918. He retired from the museum in 1958. Works Troughton wrote '' Furred Animals of Australia'' in 1941, with illustrations provided by Neville W. Cayley; the publication date of the work was determined to be 1944. He was the first Honorary Life Member of The " Australian Mammal Society" and ''The Ellis Troughton Memorial Award'' is named for him. Amongst Troughton early works is a significant contribution to the study of bats, and at 33 years of age he composed the text for the section regarding the poorly known Australian Chiroptera in the volume titled ''The ...

American Society Of Mammalogists
The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) was founded in 1919. Its primary purpose is to encourage the study of mammals, and professions studying them. There are over 4,500 members of this society, and they are primarily professional scientists who emphasize the importance of public policy and education. There are several ASM meetings held each year and the society manages several publications such as the ''Journal of Mammalogy The ''Journal of Mammalogy'' is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the American Society of Mammalogists.
