The Cuban yellow bat (Dasypterus insularis) is a species of bat from the family Vespertilioninae. It was previously included as a subspecies of the northern yellow bat, a species that has a similar ecology and biology. [1] The species is endemic to Cuba, specifically the Las Villas Province in Cienfuegos, [2] and it is listed under the IUCN Red List as vulnerable due to its ongoing population reduction and relatively small geographic range.

Pfeiffer's red bat is a species of bat from the family Vespertilioninae and is endemic to Cuba. It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List due to a significant population decline, caused by human population density on its endemic island, habitat conversion, and hurricanes. The species is likely insectivorous; fecal matter samples from a single bat contained only beetles. It may be a subspecies of the Seminole bat.
