This suggests that either P. maderensis should be considered a subspecies of P. kuhlii or P. kuhlii represents multiple species; additional studies are needed to clarify this. There are potentially multiple subspecies recognizable between the Madeira Archipelago and Canary Islands populations. Monotypic.	Madeira Archipelago ( Madeira and Porto Santo) and W Canary Is (La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and Tenerife). Individuals classified as Pipistrellus sp. from the Azores have been suggested to be Madeira Pipistrelles.	Head-body 39-47 mm, tail 30-36 mm, forearm 29-9-34.9 mm; weight 5-9 g. Females are slightly larger than males. The Madeira Pipistrelle is generally similar to Kuhl’s Pipistrelle ( P. kuhlii ). Fur is uniformly chocolate-brown to orange brown. It often has white line at patagium and uropatagium edges (specifically in the Madeiran and La Palma populations). Muzzle is dark. Ears are short and broad, and they cover short rounded and curved tragus (typical shape for all pipistrelles). Tibia is relatively long (c.12-5 mm). I* is unicuspid, as in Kuhl’s Pipistrelle; P* is small but alwaysvisible above gum, unlike in Kuhl’s Pipistrelle; and lower molars are nyctalodont.	Various habitats such as wetlands, woodlands, coniferous plantations, leafy laurel forests, farmlands, and urban areas from sea level up to ¢. 2150 m . The Madeira Pipistrelle reportedly forages up to 2150 m in the Canary Islands but mostly in lowlands on Madeira . It seems to prefer water bodies for foraging (e.g. lakes, ponds, and wetlands).	The Madeira Pipistrelle feeds on Diptera (mosquitoes) and Lepidoptera (moths) and occasionally Coleoptera (beetles) around streetlamps. It is an aerial hawker, hunting with short quick dives. Gleaning has not been reported.	Adult Madeira Pipistrelles suckling young have only been detected in June-July in urban environments.	The Madeira Pipistrelle emerges a few minutes after sunset, being one ofthe first bats emerging at night. It is well adapted to man-made or human-influenced habitats for roosting. It roosts in Canary palms ( Phoenix canariensis, Arecaceae ), old buildings, tunnels, and sea cliffs. The few breeding roosts found include rock crevices, bird boxes, and building roofs. Echolocation is almost indistinct from that of Kuhl’s Pipistrelle, but it has peak frequencies of 45-47 kHz, resembling pulses of the Common Pipistrelle (P. pipustrellus). It has the typical pipistrelle-like calls, with first FM component followed by second QCF section that greatly varies in length and intensity. Calls are very flexible from almost entirely FM calls in cluttered environments such as forest interiors to QCF calls in open areas such as grasslands. Social calls are very similar to those of Kuhl’s Pipistrelle.	Swarming period occurs in the beginning of autumn (September—October). Movements of the Madeira Pipistrelle are poorly known. Populations from Madeira and the Canary Islands are genetically well separated, with larger phylogenetic distances than in other comparisons in the pipistrellus group but shorter than distances between species, suggesting an early stage of evolutionary segregation. The Madeira Pipistrelle roosts alone or in small clusters; it is not typically gregarious. Nursery colonies are almost always formed entirely of adult females and their young; roosts have males and females during the rest of the year.	Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. This classification 1s due to the small population of the Madeira Pipistrelle at less than 1000 individuals, reduced distribution (less than 5000 km ? scattered between Madeira and the Canary Islands ), destruction of remaining natural habitat on the islands, use of pesticides in banana plantations and other agricultural areas, and potential roost disturbances. In fact, the Madeira Pipistrelle is among the most endangered bat species in Europe. Its population trends are unknown in both archipelagos, but it is suspected to be currently declining. Most important threats include restoration of buildings,loss of natural habitat, use of pesticides, predation by domestic animals (e.g. cats), and disturbance to roosts in buildings.

The population numbers &lt; 1,000 individuals and it is suspected to be declining as a result of habitat loss, use of agricultural pesticides, and disturbance to roosts. This species is also severely fragmented. ;It is assessed as Vulnerable (VU C2a(i)) but may be approaching the Endangered category.	<span lang="EN-US">The Murciélago de Madeira (<span lang="EN-US">Pipistrellus maderensis <span lang="EN-US">) forages over a wide range of habitats, including aquatic habitats, woodland and farmland (<span lang="EN-US">Trujillo 2002<span lang="EN-US">). It feeds on flying insects, including small moths and Diptera. Breeding colonies have been found in crevices in sea-cliffs and underneath the roofs of houses, as well as in bird boxes (<span lang="EN-US">Trujillo 2002<span lang="EN-US">). Roost sites include rock crevices, bird boxes, and crevices in (often disused) buildings. It is often associated with human settlements, although in contrast with<span lang="EN-US"> ;P. pipistrellus ;<span lang="EN-US">in mainland Spain it tends not to be found in parks, gardens, and tree-lined avenues in urban areas in the Canary islands (<span lang="EN-US">Trujillo 2002<span lang="EN-US">).</span></span></span></span></span>	<span lang="EN-US">Restoration of buildings, covering cracks where it roosts, is a threat to the species. Rain-gauges attract dozens of bats which are trapped there and die (Trujillo 2007).<span lang="EN-US"> Loss of natural habitat may be a threat, although the species is apparently adapted to man-made habitats. The use of agricultural pesticides may be a problem, and disturbance to roosts in buildings may also be of concern.</span>	<span lang="EN-US">On Madeira and associated islands, it is abundant but very rare on Porto Santo. The total population is estimated to be less than 1,000 individuals, and trends are unknown (Rainho<span lang="EN-US"> ;et al . <span lang="EN-US">2002). On the Canary Islands it is <span lang="EN-US">relatively common and<span lang="EN-US"> is the most frequently reported bat on all islands of occurrence, although no bat is abundant on the islands. Population size and trend have not been quantified (<span lang="EN-US">Trujillo 2002<span lang="EN-US">), although declines are suspected as a result of threats including loss and degradation of habitats, pesticide use, and disturbance and destruction of roosts.

Pipistrelles found in the Azores (Santa Maria, Flores, Corvo, Graciosa, San Jorge) probably belong to this species. It is found from sea level to 2,150 m in the Canary Islands, although it prefers lowlands on Madeira (Fajardo and Benzal 1999).		Terrestrial	The species is protected through Bern Convention, and included in Annex IV of EU Habitats &; Species Directive. Rainho and Palmeirim (2002) proposed the following actions: identification, protection and monitoring of roosts; preservation and restoration of natural habitats, reduction of pesticide use; and, study of the species' biology, ecology, genetics, and systematics. ;<span lang="EN-US">Trujillo (200<span lang="EN-US">2) ;additionally recommend a public awareness campaign aimed at reducing disturbance of breeding colonies in private houses.</span>	Palearctic		FALSE	FALSE	Global & Europe	Simmons, N.
