Beijing Wide-Eared Bat

The Beijing barbastelle (Barbastella beijingensis), also known as the Beijing wide-eared bat, is a species of

Fangshan District in southwestern Beijing and was identified as a distinct species by zoologists Zhang Shuyi, Gareth Jones, Zhang Jingshuo and Han Naijian in 2007.[5][6][7]

Taxonomy

Phylogenetic evidence supports it not being closely related to other eastern Asian barbastelle species, and instead being the sister species to the Arabian barbastelle (B. leucomelas) of northern Africa and the Levant. The clade containing both is the sister group to the western barbastelle (B. barbastella).[5]

Description

The Beijing barbastelle is a relatively large member of the genus

western barbastelle.[7]

Range and habitat

The Beijing barbastelle has only been found in caves and one abandoned tunnel in

Fangshan District, near Yunxiaoling, in a mountainous region with riparian woodland.[3]

Conservation

As of 2021, it is evaluated as

IUCN.[1]
