SPECIES Pipistrellus (Pipistrellus) deserti
Author: | Thomas, 1902. | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1902(II): 4. | Common Name: | Desert Pipistrelle | Type Locality: | Libya, Fezzan, Murzuk. | Distribution: | Egypt, N Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc) as P. aegyptius. | Comments: | Subgenus Pipistrellus. Qumsiyeh (1985) proposed use of aegyptius for this species and many subsequent authors followed this usage, but see Kock (1999b), who showed aegyptius to be a nomen dubium. Reviewed by Horácek et al. (2000). |
