Cassistrellus
The helmeted bats are two species of vesper bat in the genus ''Cassistrellus''. They are found in South and Southeast Asia. The two species in this genus are: * Surat helmeted bat, ''Cassistrellus dimissus'' * Yok Don helmeted bat, ''Cassistrellus yokdonensis'' Of these, ''C. dimissus'' was initially classified in ''Eptesicus ''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 cer ...'' until phylogenetic studies affirmed its distinctiveness, while ''C. yokdonesis'' was described in the same study that described the new genus.

Surat Helmeted Bat
The Surat helmeted bat (''Cassistrellus dimissus'') is a species of vesper bat. It ranges from Thailand and Laos west to Nepal. Taxonomy This species was formerly classified in the genus ''Eptesicus'' until phylogenetic analysis found it to belong a distinct genus in the tribe Vespertilionini, and thus reclassified it in the newly described genus ''Cassistrellus''.

Vespertilionidae
Vespertilionidae is a family of microbats, of the order Chiroptera, flying, insect-eating mammals variously described as the common, vesper, or simple nosed bats. The vespertilionid family is the most diverse and widely distributed of bat families, specialised in many forms to occupy a range of habitats and ecological circumstances, and it is frequently observed or the subject of research. The facial features of the species are often simple, as they mainly rely on vocally emitted echolocation. The tails of the species are enclosed by the lower flight membranes between the legs. Over 300 species are distributed all over the world, on every continent except Antarctica. It owes its name to the genus '' Vespertilio'', which takes its name from a word for bat, ', derived from the Latin term ' meaning 'evening'; they are termed "evening bats" and were once referred to as "evening birds". (The term "evening bat" also often refers more specifically to one of the species, ''Nycticeius hume ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
