Hypsugo
The genus ''Hypsugo'' contains many bats referred to as pipistrelles or pipistrelle bats (not to be confused with the genus ''Pipistrellus''). They belong to the family Vespertilionidae or vesper bats. They are primarily found throughout Asia, the Middle East, Mediterranean Europe, and North Africa (including the Canary Islands), with a single (debated) species in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Savi's Pipistrelle
Savi's pipistrelle (''Hypsugo savii'' sometimes classified as ''Pipistrellus savii'') is a species of vesper bat found across North West Africa, the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. It feeds at night on flying insects. In the summer it roosts under bark, in holes in trees, in old buildings and in rock crevices but in winter it prefers roosts where the temperature is more even such as caves, underground vaults and deep rock cracks. Taxonomy Based on mitochondrial DNA, specifically the regions that encode cytochrome c oxidase and cytochrome b, Savi's pipistrelle is most closely related to '' Hypsugo alaschanicus''. Description Savi's pipistrelle is a small species of bat with a head and body length of between and a forearm (elbow to wrist) length between . It weighs between . It has broad, rounded ears each with a short tragus that is widest in the middle and narrows towards the rounded tip. The face, ears and wing membranes are black. The short fur on the upperside of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypsugo Macrotis
The big-eared pipistrelle (''Hypsugo macrotis'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It can be found in Indonesia and Malaysia. It forages over mud flats over Peninsula Malaysia but its roosting activities are unknown. Its habitat is being threatened by deforestation for agriculture, plantations, logging and fires but how it affects this bat or if it is adaptable are unknown. Taxonomy The big-eared pipistrelle was described as a new species in 1840 by Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. Temminck placed it in the genus ''Vespertilio'' with a binomen of ''Vespertilio macrotis''. The holotype had been collected near Padang on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. In 1940, Frederick Nutter Chasen published that he considered it a subspecies of the brown pipistrelle (''Hypsugo imbricatus''), though it was considered a full species in 2005 by ''Mammal Species of the World''. ''Hypsugo'' species have frequently been listed as members of the genus ''Pipistrell ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hypsugo Dolichodon
The long-toothed pipistrelle (''Hypsugo dolichodon'') is a species of bat of the genus ''Hypsugo''. It is a small bat, with a length of 35.2–38.4 mm (1.38–1.51 in) of forearm, and 5.9–7 mm (0.23–0.27 in) of foot. It feeds on insects and has especially long canines compared to others of its genus. Taxonomy The long-toothed pipistrelle was described as a new species in 2014. The holotype was collected in 1997 by Charles M. Francis and Antonio Guillén in Attapeu Province, Cambodia. Its species name "''dolichodon''" is from Greek "''dolichos''" meaning "long" or "enlarged" and "''oodontos''" meaning "tooth", in reference to its long upper canines. Based on genetic data, the long-toothed pipistrelle forms a clade with the following members of its genus: the Chinese pipistrelle (''H. pulveratus''), Savi's pipistrelle (''H. savii''), and '' Hysugo alaschanicus''.

Hypsugo Alaschanicus
The Alashanian pipistrelle (''Hypsugo alaschanicus'') is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in China, South Korea, Mongolia, Japan, and Russia. It is assessed as least-concern by the IUCN. Taxonomy This species was first described by Nikolay Alekseyevich Bobrinski in 1926. The genus ''Hypsugo'' was previously considered to be within ''Pipistrellus'', but is now considered distinct. This species was previously considered to be a subspecies of '' H. savii'', but is now considered a full species. The taxonomic status of the Korean population of ''H. alaschanicus'' is unclear, with it sometimes being considered as a subspecies, and it being considered as a distinct species called ''H. coreensis'' by other authors. Biology The pipistrelle is likely an open forager. It is an insectivore. The bat echolocates at a frequency of around 35 kHz. Habitat and distribution The species is common and widespread, being found in countries across Central and East ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypsugo Lanzai
The Socotran pipistrelle or Lanza's pipistrelle (''Hypsugo lanzai'') is an endangered species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to Socotra Island in Yemen, and is the only mammal thought to be endemic to the island. Taxonomy Previously thought to represent an insular population of the desert pipistrelle (''H. ariel''), a 2011 study found it to be morphologically distinct from other ''Hypsugo'' species, and described it as a distinct species. It is named after Italian biologist Benedetto Lanza. It is recognized as a distinct species by the IUCN Red List, American Society of Mammalogists, and ITIS. Distribution and habitat It is found only on Socotra, where it is found throughout at all altitudes. It inhabits sparse, dry xeric shrubland habitat. Description It is the largest member of the ''arabicus''-group of ''Hypsugo'' (also including ''H. ariel'' and the Arabian pipistrelle, ''H. arabicus'').
