SPECIES Myotis yumanensis
| Author: | H. Allen, 1864. | | Citation: | Smithson. Misc. Coll., 7: 58. | | Common Name: | Yuma Myotis | | Type Locality: | USA, California, Imperial Co., Old Fort Yuma. | | Distribution: | Hidalgo, Morelos and Baja California (Mexico) north to British Columbia (Canada), east to Montana and W Texas (USA). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | An older name for this species may be subulatus Say, 1823; see Glass and Baker (1968). Those authors recommended that subulatus should be supressed, but see Hall (1981), who used subulatus for the species we recognize as leibii. See also comments under leibii and lucifugus. Apparently closely related to velifer; see Ruedi and Mayer (2001). |
