Description

Hypsugo savii

Savi’s Pipistrelle

Vespertilio savii Bonaparte, 1837: fasc. 20; Pisa, Italy

Pipistrellus austenianus Dobson, 1871: 213; Cherra- punjee, Khasi Hills, Assam, NE India

Taxonomic notes

Corbet and Hill (1992) noted that ‘if specimen BMNH 14.7.8.63 from Maymyo (= Pyin Oo Lwin, Shan State) correctly rep- resents austenianus then it is certainly close to H. (= Pipistrellus) savii (Hill, 1962) and may represent a further subspecies’. How- ever, examination of the skull and dentition of this specimen for the current paper shows that it is referable to P. pulveratus and not H. savii. Since the status of austenianus re- mains uncertain, H. savii should be omitted from the Myanmar faunal list until data sup- porting its presence are found.
