The Anatolian serotine bat (Eptesicus anatolicus) is a species of bat found in the Middle-East, Cyprus and Rhodes Island, Greece.
Taxonomy
Eptesicus anatolicus was described in 1971 by Felten. However, a statement few years later from Harrison, who considered the specimens he examined as a sub-species of Eptesicus bottae, was accepted as taxonomical reference for more than three decades.[1] In 2006, Benda et al. suggested that Eptesicus anatolicus should regain a species status following clear morphological evidence.[2]
Range and habitat
This bat is known to forage in open areas, around streetlamps and in the semi-open area along cliffs and vegetation.[3] This species is recorded in Turkey, Syria, Greece (Rhodes Island), Cyprus and Iran.
This species is listed in the Berne Convention and is specifically targeted by the UNEP-EUROBATS convention.
