	Antrozoini Antrozoini is a tribe of bats in the subfamily Vespertilioninae of the family Vespertilionidae. It contains the pallid bat (''Antrozous pallidus''), Van Gelder's bat (''Bauerus dubiaquercus''), the genus ''Rhogeessa'', and the fossil '' Anzanycteris''. All species in this tribe are found in the Americas. Taxonomy The pallid bat (''Antrozous pallidus'') was first described in 1856 and first placed in its own genus, ''Antrozous'', in 1862. Several suggestions were made early on about its relationships, including that of Wilhelm Peters in 1865, who placed it in the family Vespertilionidae and considered it to be related to the Australian '' Nyctophilus''. Others suggested a relationship with the vespertilionid genus ''Plecotus'' or the Phyllostomidae. In 1897, Gerrit S. Miller described a subfamily Antrozoinae for the pallid bat, but ten years later chose to place ''Nyctophilus'' and ''Antrozous'' together in a subfamily Nyctophilinae.Miller, 1907, pp. 234–235 Van Gelder' ...

	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 hume ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Allen's Yellow Bat Allen's yellow bat (''Rhogeessa alleni'') is a species of vesper bat. There is some taxonomic debate surrounding this species, with some authors considering ''Baeodon'' a genus rather than a subgenus. It is endemic to Mexico. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1892 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas noted that the eponym for the species name "''alleni''" was Harrison Allen, calling him "the chief authority on North-American bats." In 1906, Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. placed Allen's yellow bat into a newly-coined genus, ''Baeodon''. At present, some authors keep Allen's yellow bat as part of ''Rhogeessa'' within the subgenus ''Baeodon'', while others believe that it is distinct enough that ''Baeodon'' should be considered a monotypic genus rather than a subgenus. Description It is a small species of bat, weighing only . It has large ears, with long tragi. The tragi are rounded at the tips, with a straight or slightly concave inner margin and ...

	Van Gelder's Bat Van Gelder's bat or Van Gelder's big-eared bat (''Bauerus dubiaquercus'') is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Mexico. The species is monotypic within its genus. It is part of the tribe Antrozoini within the subfamily Vespertilioninae and is related to the pallid bat (''Antrozous pallidus''). The bat is found in forest habitat from sea level to elevations as high as 2300 m, although not usually above 1300 m, and is insectivorous and crepuscular. It apparently has a fragmented distribution, and is threatened by deforestation. Taxonomy and etymology The bat was discovered by Richard Van Gelder, then curator of mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History. The bat was collected on the AMNH Puritan Expedition to Baja California in 1957 on the Tres Maria Islands (south of Baja) by Richard Zweifel (expedition herpetologist) and Oakes Plimpton (expedition assistant). Van Gelder dubbed the bat "dubiaquerc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Common Pipistrelle The common pipistrelle (''Pipistrellus pipistrellus'') is a small pipistrellus, 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 Animal echolocation, 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 species description, 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, Ale ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Perimyotini Perimyotini is a tribe of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains two species of bats found in North America, each in their own monotypic genus. Although this name is already in use by taxonomic authorities, such as the ''Handbook of the Mammals of the World,'' ITIS and the American Society of Mammalogists The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) was founded in 1919. Its primary purpose is to encourage the study of mammals, and professions studying them. There are over 4,500 members of this society, and they are primarily professional scientists ..., and was first suggested as a name in a 2009 study, it has not actually been formally described. Species There are two genera in the tribe, each with one species: * Genus '' Parastrellus'' ** Canyon bat, ''Parastrellus hesperus'' * Genus '' Perimyotis'' Tricolored bat, ''Perimyotis subflavus'' References {{Taxonbar, from=Q105806864 Mammal tribes Vesper bats Nomina nuda ...

	Nicaraguan Little Yellow Bat Nicaragua (; ), officially the Republic of Nicaragua (), is the largest country in Central America, bordered by Honduras to the north, the Caribbean to the east, Costa Rica to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Managua is the country's capital and largest city. , it was estimated to be the second largest city in Central America. Nicaragua's multiethnic population of six million includes people of mestizo, indigenous, European and African heritage. The main language is Spanish. Indigenous tribes on the Mosquito Coast speak their own languages and English. Originally inhabited by various indigenous cultures since ancient times, the region was conquered by the Spanish Empire in the 16th century. Nicaragua gained independence from Spain in 1821. The Mosquito Coast followed a different historical path, being colonized by the English in the 17th century and later coming under British rule. It became an autonomous territory of Nicaragua in 1860 and its northernmost part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
