| Author: | Peters, 1859. | | Citation: | Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1859: 223. | | Common Name: | Hemprich's Desert Bat | | Type Locality: | Restricted by Kock (1969a) to the Nile Valley between north of Aswan, Egypt and Chondek, Sudan. | | Distribution: | The desert zone from Morocco and Niger through Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq to Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, and Kashmir. | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed by Harrison and Bates (1991), Horácek (1991), and Bates and Harrison (1997). Several subspecies are sometimes recognized (e.g., Harrison and Bates, 1991; Koopman, 1994), but Horácek (1991) and Horácek et al. (2000) have argued that geographic variation in size and coloration is clinal and therefore does not support recognition of local populations as subspecies. |
