A New Record of Pipistrellus javanicus(Chiroptera:Vespertilionidae)from Guangdong Province
To investigate the diversity of Chiroptera in the Shimentai National Nature Reserve,Guangdong Province,a batch of bats were collected by mist nets in September 2019.Among the collected bats,5 Pipistrelle bats(1♂,4♀)are small body size,forearm length of 27.7-30.5 mm.The head and ears are dark brown.The coat is dense and the back hair is dark brown.The abdominal hair is slightly lighter than the back hair.The base hair color is brown and the hair tip is gray white.The hind-foot length is about half of the tibia length.The wings and tail membranes are dark brown.The skull is stout and the snout is wide and flat.The zygomatic arch is narrow and short.No supra-orbital process.Sagittal and her-ringbone ridge is very weak.The dental formula is 2.1.2.3/3.1.2.3=34.These external and skull characteristics are con-sistent with those of Pipistrellus javanicus.Phylogenetic analysis based on COⅠ gene sequence also supported the above morphological identification result.This study represents a new chiropteran record in Guangdong Province,China.The specimen is kept in the Institute of Zoology,Guangdong Academy of Science.
