Pipistrellus
''Pipistrellus'' is a genus of bats in the family Vespertilionidae and subfamily Vespertilioninae. The name of the genus is derived from the Italian language, Italian word , meaning "bat" (from Latin "bird of evening, bat"). The size of the genus has been considerably reduced as a result of work during the 1990s and 2000s, with genera such as ''Arielulus'', ''Hypsugo'', ''Falsistrellus'', ''Neoromicia'', ''Parastrellus'', ''Perimyotis'', ''Scotozous'', and ''Vespadelus'' being split off. Still, Molecular phylogenetics, molecular evidence suggests the genus is not monophyletic. Several other genera in the subfamily Vespertilioninae have also been merged with ''Pipistrellus'' in previous classifications. Species in the genus may be referred to as "pipistrelles" or "pipistrelle bats", though these terms are also used for species now placed in other genera, such as the western pipistrelle (''Parastrellus hesperus'') and eastern pipistrelle (''Perimyotis subflavus'') of North Americ ...

Common Pipistrelle
The common pipistrelle (''Pipistrellus pipistrellus'') is a small pipistrelle microbat whose very large range extends across most of Europe, North Africa, South Asia, and may extend into Korea. It is one of the most common bat species in the British Isles. In Europe, the northernmost confirmed records are from southern Finland near 60°N. In 1999, the common pipistrelle was split into two species on the basis of different-frequency echolocation calls. The common pipistrelle uses a call of 45 kHz, while the soprano pipistrelle echolocates at 55 kHz. Since the two species were distinguished, a number of other differences, in appearance, habitat and food, have also been discovered. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1774 by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. Schreber initially placed it in the genus ''Vespertilio'', calling it ''Vespertilio pipistrellus''. In 1839, Keyserling and Blasius reclassified the species, naming ...

Perimyotis
The tricolored bat (''Perimyotis subflavus'') is a species of microbat native to eastern North America. Formerly known as the eastern pipistrelle, based on the incorrect belief that it was closely related to European ''Pipistrellus'' species, the closest known relative of the tricolored bat is now recognized as the canyon bat. Its common name "tricolored bat" derives from the coloration of the hairs on its back, which have three distinct color bands. It is the smallest bat species in the eastern and midwestern US, with individuals weighing only . This species mates in the fall before hibernation, though due to sperm storage, females do not become pregnant until the spring. Young are born helpless, though rapidly develop, flying and foraging for themselves by four weeks old. It has a relatively long lifespan, and can live nearly fifteen years. In the summer, females roost in small groups and males roost solitarily in tree foliage or beard lichen. It eats a diverse array of insect ...

Endo's Pipistrelle
Endo's pipistrelle (''Pipistrellus endoi'') is a species of vesper bat that is endemic to Japan. It is found in temperate forests. Etymology This species was described by Japanese zoologist Yoshinori Imaizumi in 1959. He named it ''endoi'' after Kimio Endo, saying that Endo was deserving of the honor because he had "recently collected several important specimens of bats in Iwate Prefecture, including the type specimen of this species."Beolens, B., Watkins, M., & Grayson, M.

Hanak's Dwarf Bat
Hanak's dwarf bat or Hanak's pipistrelle (''Pipistrellus hanaki'') is a species of bat only found in Cyrenaica, Libya and Crete, Greece. Taxonomy ''Pipistrellus hanaki'' was described as a new species in 2004. Its description was the result of a taxonomic split of the common pipistrelle. The holotype was collected in Cyrenaica, which is in eastern Libya. The eponym for the species name "''hanaki''" is Czech Republic scientist Vladimír Hanák, for his significant contribution "to the knowledge of the Palaearctic bat fauna". Hanák was also the first to point out the difference of this taxon from other members of the common pipistrelle species complex. Range and habitat In Crete, Hanak's dwarf bat was recorded in mosaics of oak trees (mainly ''Quercus pubescens''), cypresses (''Cupressus sempervirens''), olive trees (''Olea europea''), carob trees (''Ceratonia siliqua'') and to a lesser extend other cultivated trees (including ''Ficus carica'' and ''Prunus spp.'').

Anchieta's Pipistrelle
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 .

Angulate Pipistrelle
The angulate pipistrelle (''Pipistrellus angulatus''), also known as the New Guinea pipistrelle, is a species of vesper bat found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Identification This species is virtually identical in appearance to the Papuan pipistrelle (''P. papuanensis''). In both species the dorsum fur is bicolored, with a brown tip overlying the longer black base of the hair. The ventral fur in both species has a black base tipped with cinnamon brown, and The snout, lip, ear, wing, forearm, and hind foot are clove brown, with a lightly furred uropatagium. However, there are several key morphological differences. ''P. angulatus'' has a strongly concave forehead. The first upper incisor is bicuspid, and the height of the second upper incisor is less than the posterior cusp of this tooth. The tragus narrows only slightly at the apex and the antitragus is moderately high.Bonnaccorso, Frank J. 1998. Bats of Papua New Guinea. CI Tropical Field Guide Series. USA: Washingt ...
