Lasiurus Arequipae
''Lasiurus'' is a genus of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. Its members are known as hairy-tailed bats or red bats. Phylogeny The following is the relationship of the three genera formerly included within ''Lasiurus'', based on an analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Species There are currently 13 described species in ''Lasiurus'': * '' Lasiurus arequipae'' — Arequipa cinnamon red bat * '' Lasiurus atratus'' (Handley, 1996) — greater red bat * '' Lasiurus blossevillii'' (Lesson and Garnot, 1826) — southern red bat * '' Lasiurus borealis'' ( Müller, 1776) — eastern red bat * '' Lasiurus castaneus'' (Handley, 1960) — Tacarcuna bat * '' Lasiurus degelidus'' (Miller, 1931) — Jamaican red bat * '' Lasiurus ebenus'' (Fazzolari-Correa, 1994) — hairy-tailed bat * '' Lasiurus frantzii'' — western red bat * '' Lasiurus minor'' (Miller, 1931)— minor red bat * '' Lasiurus pfeifferi'' ( Gundlach, 1861)— Pfeiffer's red b ...

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 classified under ...

Hawaiian Hoary Bat
The Hawaiian hoary bat (''Lasiurus semotus''), also known as ''ōpeapea'', is a species of bat endemic to the islands of 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 taxon of the United States. Like many species of bats, Hawaiian hoary bats are brown in color. However they are distinguished by the silver coloration that ‘frosts’ the fur on their back, ears, and neck. They typically weigh between 14 to 18 g (0.49 to 0.63 ounces), and have a wingspan of about 10.5 to 13.5 inches, with females being l ...

Lasiurus Minor
The minor red bat (''Lasiurus minor'') is a species of bat from the family Vespertilioninae. It is found in the Bahamas, Hispaniola (both the Dominican Republic and Haiti), and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, though there are only six known individuals in the latter. Diet and behaviour The minor red bat is a solitary, insectivorous species that forages in open areas and rests among the leaves of trees. It is a swift flier, though it is not highly maneuverable. Conservation Hurricanes, habitat destruction, and human population growth are several factors leading to a decreasing population trend, and the minor red bat is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List due to ongoing population reduction and a small geographic range.

Western Red Bat
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, N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lasiurus Degelidus
The Jamaican red bat (''Lasiurus degelidus'') is a species of vesper bat. It is endemic to Jamaica Jamaica (; ) is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea.

This is one of the least well-known species of bats in Jamaica. No specimens have been recorded from within caves or near caves so this appears to be a tree-roosting bat. It is caught over water.

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. Distribution The species is recorded in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador (Galápagos Islands), French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. See also *Eastern red bat — ''Lasiurus borealis'' *Western red bat – previously considered a subspecies of ''Lasiurus blossevillii'' *Bats of the United States Most of the many bat species found in the United States are insectivorous except for three flower eating species that migrate from Mexico and one that inhabits the Florida Keys. __TOC__ Species Bats ...

Seminole Bat
The Seminole bat (''Lasiurus seminolus'') is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. Taxonomy The Seminole bat was first described in 1895 by Samuel N. Rhoads. The holotype had been collected in Tarpon Springs, Florida in 1892 by William S. Dickinson. Rhoads placed it in the now-defunct genus ''Atalpha'', identifying it as a subspecies of the eastern red bat with a scientific name of ''Atalpha borealis seminolus''. In 1932, the name ''Lasiurus seminolus'' was applied to the taxon for the first time by Earl Lincoln Poole. Description The Seminole bat is often confused with the red bat. This is due to the coloring of the Seminole bat, which is a mahogany color with a frosted look due to white tipped dorsal hairs. Coloring is not sexually dimorphic, meaning that males and females are similar in color. Average weight is around 12 grams with females being larger than males. Diet Seminole bats are insectivores. Insectivores are animals that feed primarily on insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pfeiffer's Red Bat
Pfeiffer's red bat (''Lasiurus pfeifferi'') is a species of bat from the family Vespertilioninae and is endemic to Cuba. It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List due to a significant population decline, caused by human population density on its endemic island, habitat conversion, and hurricanes. The species is likely insectivorous; fecal matter samples from a single bat contained only beetles. It may be a subspecies of the Seminole bat.
