Myotis Frater
The fraternal myotis (''Myotis frater'') is a species of vesper bat native to East Asia. Taxonomy The long-tailed myotis (''M. longicaudatus'') was split as a distinct species by a 2015 study based on molecular evidence. This has also been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, ITIS. Phylogenetic evidence supports the reddish myotis (''M. soror'') of Taiwan being the Sister group, sister species to ''M. frater''. Description An adult fraternal myotis has a body length of about 5 cm, a tail of about 4.5 cm, and a wing span of about 3.8 cm. Distribution The species is found throughout China and Taiwan.
