Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox The Beijing mouse-eared bat, or Peking myotis (Myotis pequinius) is a species of vesper bat. It is found only in China.

Taxonomy

It was described as a new species in 1908 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. The holotype had been collected by Malcolm Playfair Anderson in 1907. Anderson encountered the species in a cave Шаблон:Cvt west of Beijing.[1]

Description

It is a relatively large mouse-eared bat with a forearm length of Шаблон:Cvt. Its fur is short and velvety, with the fur on its back a gray, reddish-brown. In contrast, its belly fur is off-white.[2]

Biology and ecology

It is insectivorous, consuming mostly beetles.[3] During the day, individuals roost in caves, though they may also roost in human structures.[4]

Range and habitat

The Beijing mouse-eared bat is endemic to China, where it is found in the provinces of Anhui, Beijing, Henan, Jiangsu, Shanxi, and Sichuan.[4]

Conservation

As of 2019, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN. It meets the criteria for this classification because its extent of occurrence exceeds Шаблон:Cvt; its population is presumably large; and it is unlikely to be experiencing rapid population decline.[4]
