Scotorepens
''Scotorepens'' is a genus of bats within the Vespertilionidae family. Species within this genus are widely distributed across Australia and to the north at Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Taxonomy The genus was erected by Ellis Troughton in his 1943 volume on Australian mammals, having previously identified new taxa of "broad-nosed bats". The type species is ''Scoteinus orion'', published by Troughton in 1937. The taxa have been allied to the genus '' Nycticeius'', as given in Troughton's earlier descriptions, but recognised as a genus in other author's arrangements. ''Scotorepens'' has been allied to the Vespertilionini tribe of the subfamily Vespertilioninae, or grouped with Nycticeiini in earlier revisions. The authority Mammal Species of the World (2003), recognised the species and subspecies of the genus, which may be summarised as * Scotorepens :* '' Scotorepens balstoni'' the inland broad-nosed bat ::* ''Scotorepens bastoni bastoni'' ::* ''Scotorepens bastoni influatus ...

Inland Broad-nosed Bat
The inland broad-nosed bat (''Scotorepens balstoni'') is a species of vesper bat. They are endemic to Australia and widespread throughout the inland, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This insectivorous microbat, measuring in length, roosts in tree hollows during the day and forages over woodland and water at night. Description The inland broad-nosed bat is a moderate-sized species of microbat. It features a characteristic broad square-shaped muzzle when viewed from above that is formed by swollen, glandular pads.Reardon, TB & Flavel, SC 1991, ''A guide to the bats of South Australia'', 2nd ed., South Australian Museum, Adelaide, SA. The fur colour of the species can vary from dark brown to a pale sand colour, with light grey-brown on the back and pale brown on the belly being most common . This species along with other broad-nosed bats have short slender ears, small eyes, a tail enclosed in the uropatagium membrane and only one upper incisor on each side.Parnaby, H 1 ...

Scotorepens Sanborni
The northern broad-nosed bat (''Scotorepens sanborni'') is a species of the vespertilionid family of microbats. It can be found in northern Australia, Timor-Leste, and Papua New Guinea. Taxonomy The species was first described by Ellis Le Geyt Troughton in 1937, allying to a genus ''Scoteinus''. The taxon was assigned to the rank of subspecies, as ''Scotorepens balstoni sanborni'', but recognised as a species following a revision by Darrell Kitchener. The type locality in the Milne Bay region of Papua New Guinea. The author nominated the specific epithet ''sanborni'' in recognition of the works of Colin C. Sanborn, a curator at the Field Museum of Natural History and appreciation for his accommodation in Chicago while researching the mammals of Oceania. The two populations found in Australia are reported to be genetically distinguishable.

Scotorepens Greyii
The little broad-nosed bat (''Scotorepens greyii'') (pronounced skoh’-toh-rep’-enz grey’-ee-ee’) translates to "Grey’s darkness creeper". Sometimes called Grey’s broad-nosed after the third governor of South Australia, Sir John Edward Grey. It is a species of vesper bat, which is one of the largest and best-known family of bats. They are endemic to Australia, are insectivores and have a broad range within the mainland, mainly in hot arid areas but also found in tropical rainforests. Description ''Scotorepens greyii'' individuals have a slender body shape, a broad square muzzle when viewed from above and have varied fur colouring. Fur ranges from brown to grey-brown on the back, with the base of the hairs being lighter than the tips; the belly fur is also lighter. Their forearm is small, their ears are relatively broad, and the tragus has a narrow and pointed tip. The glans penis has up to ten spines on the head, mainly in two rows. They are similar in appearance to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scotorepens Orion
The eastern broad-nosed bat or Orion broad-nosed bat (''Scotorepens orion'') is a species of vespertilionid bat. It is found only in Australia, east of the Great Dividing Range, from about Rockhampton to Melbourne, with a small isolated population on the Atherton Tablelands. Description It is a medium-sized bat, with forearm . Its fur-colour is a rich dark brown on the back, with a more drab belly, not markedly bicoloured. It can be separated from '' S. balstoni'' by its penis morphology, which has eight spines on the head of the glans in an almost circular cluster. It roosts in tree hollows but has been reported to roost in buildings. It is known to share roosts with other similar-sized bats such as the Chocolate Wattled bat. A single young is born in November or December.(Churchill) Distribution One place it has appeared is in Wilson Reserve Ivanhoe Melbourne, 10 km northeast of the Central Business District on the north bank of the Yarra river, where 20 timber roost b ...

Vespertilionidae
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] |
Furred Animals Of Australia
''Furred Animals of Australia'' is a general reference book, first published in 1931, that gives accounts of Australian mammals, the continent's often unique marsupial and placental mammal fauna. The text and research for the book was undertaken by the mammologist and museum curator Ellis Le Geyt Troughton. Colour plates for the work were produced by Neville W. Cayley, whose popular standard guide '' What Bird is That?'' inspired Troughton's working title ''What Mammal is That?''. The second edition of the work, while dated 1943 on the title page, was issued by Angus and Robertson in 1944. It remained the only authoritative treatment of the continent's mammals to be readily available during the mid-twentieth century. Preparation for the work was prompted by the absence of any general reference for Australian mammalogy, with no work being readily accessible or current. The book was an attempt to reproduce the highly regarded volumes of John Gould's '' The Mammals of Australia'', i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Microchiropteran
Microbats constitute the suborder Microchiroptera within the order Chiroptera (bats). Bats have long been differentiated into Megachiroptera (megabats) and Microchiroptera, based on their size, the use of echolocation by the Microchiroptera and other features; molecular evidence suggests a somewhat different subdivision, as the microbats have been shown to be a paraphyletic group. Characteristics Microbats are long. Most microbats feed on insects, but some of the larger species hunt birds, lizards, frogs, smaller bats or even fish. Only three species of microbat feed on the blood of large mammals or birds ("vampire bats"); these bats live in South and Central America. Although most "Leaf-nose" microbats are fruit and nectar-eating, the name “leaf-nosed” isn't a designation meant to indicate the preferred diet among said variety. Three species follow the bloom of columnar cacti in northwest Mexico and the Southwest United States northward in the northern spring and then th ...
