Submyotodon Caliginosus
''Submyotodon'' is a genus of vespertilionid bats, published as a new taxon in 2003 to describe a Miocene fossil species. Extant species and subspecies previously included in ''Myotis'' were later transferred to this genus. Species in this genus are referred to as broad-muzzled bats or broad-muzzled myotises. Taxonomy and etymology ''Submyotodon'' was described as a new genus of bat in 2003, based on fossil specimens found near Eichstätt, Germany. The type species is '' Submyotodon petersbuchensis''. The genus name ''Submyotodon'' is from the Latin prefix ('under' or 'close to'), + the Greek roots (, 'mouse') + (, , 'ear') + (, , 'tooth'). This refers to the fact that its molars are similar to those of the mouse-eared bats, e.g. "myotodont" molars. Myotodont molars are characterized by a postcristid (enamel ridge linking the hypoconid and hypoconulid) that links to the entoconid (inner posterior cusp of a molar).

Asia
Asia (, ) is one of the world's most notable geographical regions, which is either considered a continent in its own right or a subcontinent of Eurasia, which shares the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with Africa. Asia covers an area of , about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Its 4.7 billion people constitute roughly 60% of the world's population. In general terms, Asia is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The border of Asia with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. It is somewhat arbitrary and has moved since its first conception in classical antiquity. The division of Eurasia into two continents reflects East–West cultural, ling ...

Submyotodon Latirostris
The Taiwan broad-muzzled bat or Taiwan broad-muzzled myotis (''Submyotodon latirostris'') is a species of vesper bat found in Taiwan. Taxonomy It was described as a new species in 1932 by Japanese arachnologist Kyukichi Kishida. The holotype had been collected in Taiwan. Kishida placed it in the genus ''Myotis'' with a binomial of ''M. latirostris''. In subsequent publications, it was considered by various authors to be a subspecies of the whiskered bat (''M. mystacinus'') or the wall-roosting mouse-eared bat (''M. muricola''). However, its lineage is basal to all other ''Myotis'' species. It is still within the Myotinae subfamily, though its morphological and genetic differences justified placing it in a separate genus. Description It is a small species of bat, with a forearm length of . Its skull is overall smooth and lacking crests, and the occipital bone The occipital bone () is a cranial dermal bone and the main bone of the occiput (back and lower part of the skull ...
