The fringed long-footed myotis (Myotis fimbriatus) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. [5]
The fringed long-footed myotis is described as having short, thick, brown fur with pale whitish fur ventrally. [6] A captured female was measured with ears that were 14.4 mm long, a forearm 42.2 mm long, and a weight of 9.9 grams. [6] Myotis fimbriatus is listed as being of least concern by the IUCN as of 2008. In 2000, Myotis fimbriatus was listed as being "lower risk/near threatened". [1]
The species Myotis taiwanensis, initially described as a subspecies of the large-footed bat (Myotis adversus) and reclassified into its own species in 2010, is now thought to be a subspecies of M. fimbriatus. [7] [8]
