SPECIES Nyctalus noctula
| Author: | Schreber, 1774. | | Citation: | Die Säugethiere, 1: 166. | | Common Name: | Noctule | | Type Locality: | France. | | Distribution: | Europe and S Scandinavia to Urals and Caucasus; Turkey to Israel and Oman; W Turkmenistan, W Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan to SW Siberia, Himalayas, south to Burma, Vietnam, and W Malaysia; possibly Algeria. A record from Mozambique is dubious (Koopman, 1993, 1994). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Formerly included furvus and velutinus, but these appear to be distinct; see Yoshiyuki (1989), but also see Corbet (1978c) and Corbet and Hill (1992). Does not include sinensis, which was recognized as a senior synonym of Vespertilio superans by Horácek (1997). Reviewed in part by Harrison and Bates (1991), Bates and Harrison (1997), and Horácek et al. (2000). |
