Description
Hypsugo macrotis [Temminck, 1840]
Vespertilio macrotis Temminck, 1840: 218, pl. 54; Padang, Sumatra, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [82].
Pipistrellus imbricatus [23]
Pipistrellus macrotis [209]
Hypsugo macrotis [98].
Common English name: Big-eared Pipistrelle
Barcode Index Number: There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD.
Remarks: H. macrotis was previously regarded as Pipistrellus macrotis [98]. The species was first reported from Peninsular Malaysia as Pipistrellus imbricatus macrotis [8] with only one locality record in the lowlands of Selangor [23]. Francis and Hill [209] later commented that the specimens recorded as P. imbricatus macrotis from Peninsular Malaysia [23] represent P. macrotis = H. macrotis.
IUCN status: Data Deficient
Recorded at: Selangor: lowlands of Selangor [23], Kuala Selangor [173]; Negeri Sembilan: Seremban [31]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57].
H. macrotis has been recorded in lowland forests and coastal lagoons near mangroves [14, 23] and recently in a school located in an urbanized habitat with small secondary forest fragments [31]. It is likely that the species may have adapted to human modified habitats [31], and the lack of its recent records may be due to surveys primarily target forest habitats.
