Kirindy Serotine
The Kirindy serotine (''Neoromicia bemainty'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It occurs in the central and south-central portions of western Madagascar. As of the most recent IUCN assessment in May 2016, it is of least concern. Taxonomy This species was formerly thought to be related to ''Neoromicia anchieta'' , but has now been proven to be a distinct species endemic to Madagascar. Although it was initially described in the genus ''Hypsugo'', later phylogenetic and morphological evidence found it to belong to the genus ''Neoromicia''. Distribution and habitat It inhabits the central and south central portions of western Madagascar. It is known to occur in different forested as well as non-forested zones, from 0 to 870 m in elevation. It is also known to occur in the general vicinity of the Kirindy Forest north of Morondava, which is part of the Menabe Antimena protected area; the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park; the Kirindy Mitea National Park; a ...

Anchieta's Serotine
Anchieta's serotine (''Neoromicia anchieta''), formerly known as Anchieta's pipistrelle, is a species of vesper bat. It is found in Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Madagascar. The species inhabits savanna habitats. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1900 by Antero Frederico de Seabra. Seabra gave it the binomial of ''Vesperugo anchieta''. The specific epithet ''anchieta'' was emended to ''anchietae'', which is the current specific epithet. Seabra made an error in his original spelling and corrected it in a later publication in 1900. The holotype had been collected in Cahata, Angola. The eponym for the species name "''anchietae''" is José Alberto de Oliveira Anchieta, a Portuguese zoologist. It was formerly classified in the genus ''Pipistrellus'', but phylogenetic evidence supports it belonging in the genus ''Neoromicia''. Description It has a head and body length of .

Vesper Bat
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] |
