Eastern false pipistrelle
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The eastern false pipistrelle (Falsistrellus tasmaniensis) is a vesper bat that occurs in eastern and south-eastern Australia, including the island of Tasmania.
Taxonomy
A species of genus Falsistrellus, allied to the family Vespertilionidae. The bats are distinguished from a western species, Falsistrellus mackenziei, by the common names eastern false pipistrelle and eastern falsistrelle.[1][2] The first description was published by John Gould in his third volume of Mammals of Australia, issued in 1858.[2] It is the type species for the genus Falsistrellus.[3]
Description
A falsistrelle bat—resembling the species Falsistrellus mackenziei—with brownish fur over the back, dark or reddish, and a lighter greyish colour at the front. The length of the forearm is Template:Cvt. The weight may range from Template:Cvt. The ear is prominent from the fur, and characteristic notches are seen at the outer margin of each lobe. The ear notch readily distinguishes it from a similar bat that occurs in the range, species Scoteanax rueppellii (greater broad-nosed bat, Rüppell's broad-nosed bat).[1]
