Eptesicus Fuscus Skeleton
''Eptesicus'' is a genus of bats, commonly called house bats or serotine bats, in the family Vespertilionidae. The genus name is likely derived from the Greek words ''ptetikos'' 'able to fly' or ''petomai'' 'house flier', although this is not certain. Species 28 species have been identified within the genus. Of these, 19 are from South America. These species are grouped into two subgenera In biology, a subgenus (plural: subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between ...: ''Eptesicus'' and ''Histiotus''.

Guadeloupe Big Brown Bat
The Guadeloupe big brown bat (''Eptesicus guadeloupensis'') is a species of vesper bat. It is found only on the island of Guadeloupe. It is one of the eleven species of bat found on Guadeloupe, and one of three that are endemic. Taxonomy and etymology It was described by Genoways and Baker in 1975. The holotype used for the species description was collected in July 1974 by the authors in eastern Baie-Mahault of Guadeloupe. They believed that it was most closely related to the big brown bat, ''Eptesicus fuscus''. They placed it in the ''fuscus'' group of the genus ''Eptesicus'', as defined by Davis in 1966. Before the description of the Guadeloupe big brown bat, the only other member of the ''fuscus'' group was its identifier, ''Eptesicus fuscus'': the big brown bat. Its species name ''guadeloupensis'' is a Latinized version of Guadeloupe, where the bat is found. Description It is the largest member of its genus that occurs in the New World. Its wing membranes are black in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Serotine Bat
The serotine bat (''Eptesicus serotinus''), also known as the common serotine bat, big brown bat, or silky bat, is a fairly large Eurasian bat with quite large ears. It has a wingspan of around and often hunts in woodland. It sometimes roosts in buildings, hanging upside down, in small groups or individually. The name serotine is derived from the Latin ''serotinus'', which means 'evening', while the generic name derives from Greek ἔπιεν and οίκος, which means 'house flyer'. Taxonomy The following subspecies have been recognised. *''Eptesicus serotinus boscai'': southern Iberia and Morocco *''Eptesicus serotinus pashtonus'': Pakistan and Afghanistan *''Eptesicus serotinus serotinus'': northern and eastern Europe and western Asia *''Eptesicus serotinus turcomanus'': central Asia and Xinjiang The Oriental serotine (''E. pachyomus'') and its constituent subspecies were formerly considered a subspecies of ''E. serotinus'', comprising its eastern populations, and is s ...

Oriental Serotine
The Oriental serotine (''Eptesicus pachyomus'') is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is widespread and found throughout Asia. Taxonomy This species was formerly considered a subspecies of the serotine bat (''E. serotinus''), which is thought to be its closest relative. However, a 2013 study found significant genetic divergence between ''E. serotinus'' and ''E. pachyomus'', and thus ''pachyomus'' was raised to species status. These results have been accepted by the American Society of Mammalogists, IUCN Red List, and ITIS. It has four subspecies: * ''E. p. pachyomus'': India, Nepal, possibly Myanmar * ''E. p. andersoni'': eastern Asia * ''E. p. pallens'': western China * ''E. p. horikawai'': Taiwan Habitat and distribution The species is widespread and in found in China, Taiwan, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and Iran.

Orinoco Serotine
The Orinoco () is one of the longest rivers in South America at . Its drainage basin, sometimes known as the Orinoquia, covers , with 76.3 percent of it in Venezuela and the remainder in Colombia. It is the fourth largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. The Orinoco River and its tributaries are the major transportation system for eastern and interior Venezuela and the Llanos of Colombia. The environment and wildlife in the Orinoco's basin are extremely diverse. Etymology The river's name is derived from the Warao term for "a place to paddle", itself derived from the terms ''güiri'' (paddle) and ''noko'' (place) i.e. a navigable place. History The mouth of the Orinoco River at the Atlantic Ocean was documented by Christopher Columbus on 1 August 1498, during his third voyage. Its source at the Cerro Delgado–Chalbaud, in the Parima range, was not explored until 453 years later, in 1951. The source, near the Venezuelan–Brazilian border, at ...

Ognev's Serotine
Ognev's serotine (''Eptesicus ognevi'') is a species of vesper bat found in western and central Asia. Taxonomy Described in 1918 by Nikolay Alekseyevich Bobrinski, it was later synonymized with Botta's serotine (''E. bottae'') of Western Asia and Egypt. However, a 2013 genetic study found that while there were very subtle morphological differences between both taxa, mtDNA and nuclear DNA analyses supported both taxa being distinct from one another, and they were thus split as distinct species. The results of this study have been followed by the American Society of Mammalogists, the IUCN Red List, and the ITIS. It is named after Russian mammalogist Sergey Ognev. Distribution and habitat It is known from the Caucasus, Central Asia, and northern South Asia, ranging from Georgia east to Kazakhstan and south to Kashmir. It is known from northern Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, northernmost India, northeastern Iran, southernKazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, northernmost Pakis ...

Eptesicus Lobatus
''Eptesicus lobatus'' is a species of bat of genus ''Eptesicus'' and family Vespertilionidae. A history of taxon All representative of genus ''Eptesicus'' from Eastern and Southern parts of Ukraine used to be referred to the species ''Eptesicus serotinus'' before, a new species was isolated from ''serotinus''. A species was described by Ukrainian zoologist (teriologist) Igor Zagorodniuk in 2009 as a new species for science based on the material from Luhansk Oblast. The taxonomy revision was conducted for the reason various mistakes in identification of ''Eptesicus'' species (as well as adjacent species, in particular Vespertili) occurred based on available identification guides. The primary Ukrainian name of the species (ukr. ''Пергач донецький'') is associated with the Siverskyi Donets river, where the most of the records of the species were known on a moment of its description. As it is conceived in the species description, its name will be remained geographi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Langer's Serotine
Langer's Deli, also known as Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant, is a kosher-style delicatessen located at 704 South Alvarado Street in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, opposite MacArthur Park. Founded in 1947, Langer's is known for its No. 19 pastrami on rye sandwich, described by the ''Los Angeles Times'' as "the Marilyn Monroe of pastrami sandwiches". Since its founding, the restaurant claims to have sold over of pastrami, and its pastrami has been deemed by some as being the best in the world. History Langer's Deli was opened in June 1947 by Albert J. Langer, originally as a deli catering to the waves of new Jewish immigrants arriving in Los Angeles. Langer had previously sold off a smaller shop at the corner of 8th and Irolo Streets in present-day Koreatown when he had heard of a pair of German immigrants selling their sandwich shop on Alvarado Street. With the help of a German friend who helped him look over the deal, Langer acquired the shop for $14,500 (). Lang ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Japanese short-tailed bat (''Eptesicus japonensis'') is a species of bat belonging to the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to Japan where it is found at the base of the northern Japanese Alps, the Chichibu Mountains and Oze National Park, mostly at altitudes higher than 700 m.
