The southern red bat (Lasiurus blossevillii) [1] is a species of microbat found in South America. [2]
Previously, the western red bat (L. frantzii) was classified as a subspecies of the southern red bat, but phylogenetic evidence supports it being a distinct species. This has been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists and the ITIS. [3] [4]
It was named after French explorer Jules de Blosseville. [5]
The species is recorded in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador (Galápagos Islands), French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. [1]
Lasiurus is a genus of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. Its members are known as hairy-tailed bats or red bats.
Microtus is a genus of voles found in North America, Europe and northern Asia. The genus name refers to the small ears of these animals. They are stout rodents with short ears, legs and tails. They eat green vegetation such as grasses and sedges in summer, and grains, seeds, root and bark at other times. The genus is also called "meadow voles".
The hoary bat is a species of bat in the vesper bat family, Vespertilionidae. It lives throughout most of North America.
The eastern long-fingered bat, or big-footed myotis is a species of vesper bat found in China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia. Roosting in caves and rock crevices during the day, it forages at night for insects near rivers and streams.
The fraternal myotis is a species of vesper bat native to East Asia.
The eastern red bat is a species of microbat in the family Vespertilionidae. Eastern red bats are widespread across eastern North America, with additional records in Bermuda.
The western yellow bat is a species of vesper bat found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. This species roosts in trees such as Populus fremontii, Platanus wrightii, and Quercus arizonica. If available, the western yellow bat will use the dead fronds that encircle palm trees as a roosting site.
The silver-haired bat is a solitary migratory species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae and the only member of the genus Lasionycteris.
The WestSiberian lemming or Western Siberian brown lemming is a true lemming species found in the Russian Federation. Like other lemmings, it belongs to the Cricetidae family of rodents.
Coleura is a genus of sac-winged bats in the family Emballonuridae. It contains four species:
The Mediterranean, Southern or Miller's water shrew is a species of insectivoran mammal in the family Soricidae.
The Makira roundleaf bat or Makira leaf-nosed bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae endemic to the Solomon Islands.
The silvery greater galago is a nocturnal primate from the galago family. It is usually found in Brachystegia woodland, from Angola to Tanzania, western Kenya and Rwanda.
The cinnamon red bat is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It was first described from a specimen that had been collected in Chile. For more than one hundred years after its initial description, it was largely considered a synonym of the eastern red bat. From the 1980s onward, it was frequently recognized as distinct from the eastern red bat due to its fur coloration and differences in range. It has deep red fur, lacking white "frosting" on the tips of individual hairs seen in other members of Lasiurus. It has a forearm length of 39–42 mm (1.5–1.7 in) and a weight of 9.5–11.0 g (0.34–0.39 oz).
The western red bat or desert red bat is a species of microbat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in western North America and Central America.
The Northern red muntjac is a species of muntjac. It is found in numerous countries of south-central and southeast Asia.
Hipposideros atrox, commonly known as the lesser bicolored leaf-nosed bat, is a species of bat found in Southeast Asia. Originally described as a subspecies in 1918, it was recognized as a full species in 2010. It uses echolocation to navigate and find prey, and roosts in caves during the day.
The chestnut capuchin or chestnut weeper capuchin is a species of capuchin monkey from northeastern Brazil, southern Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
Lasiurini is a tribe of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains three genera of bats found in the Americas. All three genera were previously considered one genus, Lasiurus, but have since been split from one another. However, the validity of this split is still debated.
Hipposideros gentilis, commonly known as Andersen's leaf-nosed bat or Andersen's roundleaf bat, is a species of roundleaf bat found in Asia.
