Description

14. Pipistrellus javanicus Gray, 1838 Javan Pipistrelle

New records

North Andaman Islands: Chipo; Middle Andaman Islands: Bamboo Nullah, Devpur, Junglighat, and Webi; Little Andaman Island: Hut Bay.

Previous records

Middle Andaman Islands: Webi (HZM); South Andaman Islands: Port Blair (ZSIK; Das, 1990).

Comments

Andaman and Nicobar endemic subspecies. Of the 10 individuals captured, seven specimens were collected. Aul et al. (2014) reported the presence of this species from East Island, Point Island, Smith Island, and West Island in North Andaman Islands; Baratang Island, Long Island, and Mayabunder in Middle Andaman Islands, and Little Andaman Island. Our specimens, basing on the COI gene and bacular morphology, were identified as P. javanicus camortae following Soota and Chaturvedi (1980).
