Myotis ruber

Description

Myotis ruber (E. Geoffroy 1806)

[Vespertilio] ruber E. Geoffroy 1806, Ann. Mus. Natn. Hist. Nat. Paris, 8: 204.

Type Locality: Paraguay, Neembucu, Sapucay (neotype locality).

Vernacular Names: Red Myotis.

Synonyms: Myotis cinnamomeus Wagner 1855; Myotis kinnamon Gervais 1856.

Distribution: SE Brazil, SE Paraguay, NE Argentina.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Does not include levis; revised by LaVal (1973 a), who with Miller and Allen (1928) discussed the type. Reviewed in part by López-González et al. (2001). Apparently closely related to riparius; see Ruedi and Mayer (2001).
