SPECIES Plecotus auritus
| Author: | Linnaeus, 1758. | | Citation: | Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1: 32. | | Common Name: | Brown Long-eared Bat | | Type Locality: | Sweden. | | Distribution: | Norway, Ireland, and Spain to Sakhalin Isl (Russia), Korea, Japan, N China, Nepal, India. | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Reviewed in part by Yoshiyuki (1989, 1991b), de Paz (1994), Bates and Harrison (1997), Sinha (1999), and Spitzenberger et al. (2001); also see Kiefer and Veith (2001), Kiefer et al. (2002), and Mucedda et al. (2002). Subspecies allocation of populations from northern China, eastern Siberia, and Sakhalin is uncertain. This complex may include more than one species; homochorous may represent a distinct species (Horácek et al., 2000), and it is possible that other forms may also be distinct (see Mucedda et al., 2002). |
