Hoary Bat
The hoary bat (''Lasiurus cinereus'') is a species of bat in the vesper bat family, Vespertilionidae. It lives throughout most of North America (possibly including Hawaii, although this is disputed). Taxonomy The hoary bat was described as a new species in 1796 by Palisot de Beauvois. Beauvois noted that the holotype was collected in the US state of Pennsylvania by an individual identified as "Master Pancake". It has many taxonomic synonyms, including ''Vespertilio pruinosis'' ( Say, 1823) and ''Atalpha mexicana'' ( Saussure, 1861). Mammalogist Harrison Allen was the first to use its current name combination of ''Lasiurus cinereus'', doing so in 1864. In a later publication, Allen placed it in the now-defunct genus ''Atalapha'', with a scientific name of ''Atalpha cinerea''. The South American hoary bat (''L. villosissimus''), which is found throughout South America, and the Hawaiian hoary bat (''L. semotus''), which is endemic to Hawaii, were both previously classi ...

Lasiurus Frantzii
The western red bat or desert red bat (''Lasiurus frantzii'') is a species of microbat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in western North America and Central America. Taxonomy Previously, it was believed to be a subspecies of the southern red bat (''Lasiurus blossevillii''), and was called ''Lasiurus blossevillii teliotis'' (abbreviated ''L. b. teliotis''). The western red bat is also very similar to the eastern red bat and is distinguished from each other by minor differences, such as the lack of white-tipped hair in the dorsal pelage in the western red bat and the presence of sparse fur in the lower third of their tail. Their habitats are separated by the Rocky Mountains and may overlap. Distribution and habitat The western red bat is found across western North America, ranging from southern Canada, through the western United States, down to Central America. The species has been recorded in Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eastern Red Bat
The eastern red bat (''Lasiurus borealis'') is a species of microbat in the family Vespertilionidae. Eastern red bats are widespread across eastern North America, with additional records in Bermuda. Taxonomy and etymology It was described in 1776 by German zoologist Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller. He initially placed it in the genus '' Vespertilio'', with the name ''Vespertilio borealis''. It was not placed into its current genus ''Lasiurus'' until the creation of the genus in 1831 by John Edward Gray. The generic name "''Lasiurus''" is derived from the Greek '' lasios'' ("hairy") and '' oura'' ("tail"); its species name "'' borealis''" is Latin in origin, meaning "northern." Of the species in its genus, the eastern red bat is most closely related to other red bats, with which they form a monophyly. Its closest relatives are the Pfeiffer's red bat (''Lasiurus pfeifferi''), Seminole bat (''L. seminolus''), cinnamon red bat (''L. varius''), desert red bat (''L. blossevill ...

Big Red Bat
The big red bat (''Aeorestes egregius'') is a species of vesper bat from South and Central America. Taxonomy It was described as a new species in 1870 by German naturalist Wilhelm Peters. Peters placed it in the now-defunct genus ''Atalpha'', with a binomial of ''Atalpha egregia''. The holotype was collected in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina by Hermann Burmeister. Description It has black flight membranes and its fur is a consistent shade of red over its entire body. Two individuals captured in Honduras had forearm lengths of and body weights of . Its ear length is approximately . Its wingspan is approximately . Range and habitat The big red bat is found in Central and South America. Its range includes Panama, Brazil, French Guiana, and Suriname Suriname (; srn, Sranankondre or ), officially the Republic of Suriname ( nl, Republiek Suriname , srn, Ripolik fu Sranan), is a country on the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America.

Northern Yellow Bat
The northern yellow bat (''Dasypterus intermedius'') is a non-migratory bat in the family Vespertilionidae, typically active year-round except during abnormally frigid winter weather, during which they will induce torpor. Description The northern yellow bat is larger than the southern yellow bat, and has an average body length of 14 cm, weight of 14-31 g, and a wing span of 35–41 cm. Its body fur ranges in color from yellow-orange to gray-brown, and is dark tipped. Wing membranes are generally darker than the body, and forearms are light. Unusually for lasiurine bats, only the front half of the tail membrane is furred, and this species also lacks white markings on the shoulders and wrists. Distribution and habitat Primarily found along the coastal regions of the southeastern United States and eastern Texas, Cuba, coastal Mexico, and Central American countries of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. This is the most abundant bat species in som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Southern Yellow Bat
The southern yellow bat (''Dasypterus ega'') is a species of vesper bat that belongs to suborder microchiroptera (microbat) in the family Vespertilionidae. It is native to South, North and Central America, from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States to Argentina. Description The southern yellow bat is a small bat covered with yellow fur as its name. Generally, females are larger than males. Forearm length of female averages 4% (1.83 mm) greater than that of males.Kurta, A., & Lehr, G. C. (1995). Lasiurus ega. Mammalian Species, 1–7.

Hawaiian Hoary Bat
The Hawaiian hoary bat (''Lasiurus semotus''), also known as ''ōpeapea'', is a species of bat endemic Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found els ... to the islands of Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii. Whereas the mainland hoary bat (''L. cinereus'') is found throughout North America, the Hawaiian hoary bat is distributed only among the major volcanic islands of Hawaii, making it the only extant and native terrestrial mammal in the state; although some studies also posit that the mainland hoary bat lives in sympatry on the Hawaiian Islands alongside the Hawaiian hoary bat, this has been disputed. The Hawaiian hoary bat was officially named the state land mammal of Hawaii in 2015. It is a federally listed endangered species, endangered taxon of the United States. Like many species of ba ...

Lasiurus Blossevillii
The southern red bat (''Lasiurus blossevillii'') is a species of microbat found in South America. Taxonomy Previously, the western red bat (''L. frantzii'') was classified as a subspecies of the southern red bat, but phylogenetic evidence supports it being a distinct species. This has been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists and the ITIS. It was named after French explorer Jules de Blosseville.
