Dong Bac’s Trident Bat
Dong Bac's trident bat (''Aselliscus dongbacanus'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in northeastern Vietnam. Its type locality is Na Phong cave, Ba Be National Park, Bac Kan Province, Vietnam. ''Aselliscus dongbacanus'' is estimated to have diverged from ''Aselliscus stoliczkanus'' during the late Miocene.

Hipposideridae
The Hipposideridae are a family (biology), family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family.Simmons, 2005, p. 365 Nevertheless, it is most closely related to Rhinolophidae within the suborder Yinpterochiroptera. Taxonomy The Hipposideridae contain 10 living genera and more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus ''Hipposideros''. In addition, several fossil genera are known; the oldest fossils attributed to the family are from the middle Eocene of Europe. In their 1997 ''Classification of Mammals'', Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell proposed a division of Hipposideridae (called Rhinonycterinae in their work) into three tribe (taxonomy), tribes, one with two subtribes, but these tribes turned out to be non-monophyly, monophyletic and have been abandoned. A different classification was proposed by Hand and Kirsch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vietnam
Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV), is a country at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of about and a population of over 100 million, making it the world's List of countries and dependencies by population, fifteenth-most populous country. One of two communist states in Southeast Asia, Vietnam shares land borders with China to the north, and Laos and Cambodia to the west. It shares Maritime boundary, maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam was inhabited by the Paleolithic age, with states established in the first millennium BC on the Red River Delta in modern-day northern Vietnam. Before the Han dynasty's invasion, Vietnam was marked by a vibrant mix of religion, culture, and social norms. The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam, which were subs ...

Aselliscus Stoliczkanus
Stoliczka's trident bat (''Aselliscus stoliczkanus'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Taxonomy Stoliczka's trident bat was described as a new species in 1871 by George Edward Dobson. The holotype had been collected by Ferdinand Stoliczka on Penang Island, Malaysia. Dobson placed it in the genus ''Asellia'', with a scientific name of ''Asellia stoliczkanus''. In 1952, Colin Campbell Sanborn published a revision of the species, in which he considered multiple other names as synonymous, including ''Phyllorhina trifida'' and ''Triaenops wheeleri''. Additionally, he revised its genus, moving it from ''Asellia'' to ''Aselliscus''. Description Stoliczka's trident bat is a small bat with a head and body length of , a forearm length of , and a tail length of . The hairs on its back are bicolored, with the bases nearly white and the tips brown. The fur on the belly is paler in color. Its nose-leaf has t ...

Miocene
The Miocene ( ) is the first epoch (geology), geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma). The Miocene was named by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell; the name comes from the Greek words (', "less") and (', "new") and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer modern marine invertebrates than the Pliocene has. The Miocene followed the Oligocene and preceded the Pliocene. As Earth went from the Oligocene through the Miocene and into the Pliocene, the climate slowly cooled towards a series of ice ages. The Miocene boundaries are not marked by distinct global events but by regionally defined transitions from the warmer Oligocene to the cooler Pliocene Epoch. During the Early Miocene, Afro-Arabia collided with Eurasia, severing the connection between the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans, and allowing the interchange of fauna between Eurasia and Africa, including the dispersal of proboscideans and Ape, hominoids into Eurasia. During the late Miocene, the conn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mammals Described In 2015
A mammal () is a vertebrate animal of the Class (biology), class Mammalia (). Mammals are characterised by the presence of milk-producing mammary glands for feeding their young, a broad neocortex region of the brain, fur or hair, and three Evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles, middle ear bones. These characteristics distinguish them from reptiles and birds, from which their ancestors Genetic divergence, diverged in the Carboniferous Period over 300 million years ago. Around 6,640 Neontology#Extant taxon, extant species of mammals have been described and divided into 27 Order (biology), orders. The study of mammals is called mammalogy. The largest orders of mammals, by number of species, are the rodents, bats, and eulipotyphlans (including hedgehogs, Mole (animal), moles and shrews). The next three are the primates (including humans, monkeys and lemurs), the Artiodactyl, even-toed ungulates (including pigs, camels, and whales), and the Carnivora (including Felidae, ...
