Cistugo lesueuri is morphologically and genetically very similar to C. seabrae , and they might be only subspecifically distinct. Both differ by a mean of 2:3%sequence divergence measured in the cytochrome-b gene and differ by 0-1 mutation at each of four essayed nuclear intron sequences, again suggesting that they might be conspecific.

Tibia lengths are 14-15 mm, and wingspans are 230-250 mm. Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Batis very small, superficially resembling small vespertilionids such as Neoromicia or Pipistrellus , but its tragus is more elongated and pointed, there are two small upper premolars, and wing membranes usually bear 1-2 visible wing glands. Color of dorsal pelage is variable, yellowish orange, yellowish brown, pale brown, or reddish brown, with hair bases dark brown or blackish. Ventral pelage is lighter, pale brown to whitish. Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat is morphologically very similar or indistinguishable from the closely related Angolan Wing-gland Bat (C. seabrae ). Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat tends to be larger and has darker and thicker pelage, perhaps reflecting its preference for more mesic habitats. Distinguishing characteristics of Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat (but with considerable overlap) include usually larger forearms (greater than 35 mm ) and skull (greatest length greater than 13-2 mm; condylo-incisive length greater than 12: 6 mm ), and less apparent (or even invisible) wing glands that are positioned further away from radius on wing membrane. Two greatly reduced anterior premolars are variously intruded in tooth row and can be hidden when viewed from the side. Lower molars are myotodont, as in Myotis . Fynbos, Karoo, and Thicket biomes of southern Africa, often close to water, mostly in mountainous terrain above 1500 m . Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat was recorded at elevations up to 2420 m in high plateaus of Lesotho in wet alpine meadows interspersed with numerous small lakes. Dominant habitats include Afromontane, Highveld, and South-West Cape biotic zones. Other species recorded in the same habitats include Geoffroy’s Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus clivosus), the Egyptian Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida aegyptiaca), Temminck’s Myotis ( Myotis tricolor), the Long-tailed Serotine ( Eptesicus hottentotus), and the Cape Serotine ( Neoromicia capensis). Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bats are insectivorous. Fecal analyses from the Northern Cap Province in South Africa indicated that dipterans constituted one-half of the volume of consumed prey, with hemipterans also abundant (about one-third of volume). Diet also contained, albeit in smaller proportions, hymenopterans, small beetles, and especially caddisflies and mayflies, suggesting preference for riverine hunting habitats. Echolocation and wing morphology characteristics classify Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat among typical clutter-edge foragers, hunting close to vegetation. In highlands of Lesotho , occupied grasslands are, however, almost devoid of trees so hunting strategies might be flexible and also include more open aerial feeding. Litter size of Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat is one young, exceptionally two. Pregnant females were collected in October and December, and scrotal males were observed in mid-February. Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat is nocturnal and active early after sunset. Day roosts are located in crevices of cliffs or large rocks. During regular surveys of bat activity conducted in a mountain forest in the Western Cape Province of South Africa , it was unrecorded in winter (July), possibly indicating a period of diapause. It is reportedly quiet and docile when netted. Echolocation call characteristics are typical of low-duty echolocating bats, with strongly FM initial component terminating with short CF component. Echolocation call parameters (mean + SD) recorded in South Africa are: peak frequency of 46-5 + 1-8 kHz, bandwidth of 45-8 + 22-7 kHz, and duration of 2:9 + 0-2 milliseconds. Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat forms mixed-sex colonies of up to 40 individuals, but movements and home range size are unrecorded. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, current population trend of Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat is decreasing, but it is probably not as rare asits limited known localities suggest. It is not uncommon in highlands of Lesotho . Development of wind farms and conversion of land to agricultural use in its preferred habitats might locally threaten populations. It is found in various protected areas and national parks in Lesotho and Western Cape and Free State provinces of South Africa . Bickham et al. (2004) | CooperBohannon et al. (2016) | Eick et al.

20000000 Cistugo lesueuri Least Concern 2017 2014-02-05 00:00:00 UTC 3.1 English This species is restricted to South Africa and Lesotho in areas with suitable rock crevices and water sources. It has a large range, with an estimated extent of occurrence of over 400,000 km² and there are more than 20 known locations. This species is highly likely to be under collected and many more subpopulations are suspected to occur, especially within the Nama and Succulent Karoo regions of South Africa. Wind farms represent an emerging threat, as its preferred habitat coincides with suitable wind farm sites. Although declines have been recorded these are not suspected to be at levels high enough to qualify the species for listing under a threat category. However, systematic long-term monitoring should be used to estimate rates of decline across its range, as this species may require reassessing in a threatened category.Cistugo lesueuri roosts in rock crevices, usually near water (Lynch 1994, Watson 1998). In the Free State, specimens were collected in a rock crevice behind a waterfall. It appears to be associated with broken terrain (koppies and cliffs) in high-altitude montane vegetation (>1,500 m asl) with suitable rock crevices and water in the form of dams, rivers or marshes (Monadjem et al . 2010). It occurs away from human habitations and constructions (ACR 2013). This species is similar to Neoromicia capensis in size, colour and flight patterns (Herselman and Norton 1985, Seamark and Brand 2005) but, while C. lesueuri is quiet and docile when netted, N. capensis is noisy and active (Watson 1998), and both species appear to use different roosting sites (Skinner and Chimimba 2005). It also pulls its head within its shoulders when handled (Seamark and Brand 2005), which has not been observed in N. capensis . It is a clutter-edge forager and feeds predominantly on Diptera and Hemiptera (Schoeman and Jacobs 2003).
This species is named after J.S. le Sueur of L’Ormarins in Paarl, Western Cape Province, who recovered the original specimen from his cat (Skinner and Chimimba 2005). ;
The species is locally threatened, in parts of its range, by conversion of land to agricultural use (sensu Driver et al . 2012). However, as this species occurs mostly in high-altitude areas, this is not a severe threat. The growing trend of developing wind farms in the eastern parts of South Africa and in Lesotho is starting to pose a threat to this species. The degree of impact and levels of decline to the population are currently unknown and should be monitored.
Although endemic, the species has a wide distribution within the assessment region, despite not being common and very rarely recorded. In the Free State Province of South Africa, a group of approximately 40 individuals was located in a day roost (Watson 1998). In the Western Cape, Cedarberg area, this species made up only 4.6% of the overall catch (Seamark and Brand 2005). In inland Western Cape, near the border with the Northern Cape, a group of approximately 30 individuals was located in a day roost (T. Morgan unpubl. data). Systematic long-term monitoring should be used to estimate rates of decline across its range, as this species may be increasingly threatened by wind farm expansion. ;
;
Decreasing This species is endemic to South Africa and Lesotho, occurring from the Cedarberg Mountains (Seamark and Brand 2005) south to the Cape Peninsula and east into the Free State and Lesotho, where they are widely distributed (Lynch 1994). They marginally occur in the Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal Province, recorded from Kamberg (Monadjem et al . 2010). Watson (1998) first recorded it from the northern Free State Province. While they have been reported as occurring more widely in the Karoo regions of the Northern Cape Province (Herselman and Norton 1985, Skinner and Chimimba 2005, ACR 2013), this requires confirmation through further field surveys (Monadjem et al . 2010). They have recently been recorded from the Eastern Cape Province, which confirms previous suspicions that the species occurred in the regions between the Lesotho highlands and the Western Cape mountains (Skinner and Chimimba 2005). While Friedmann and Daly (2004) listed it as Near Threatened (although the specific criteria were not provided) due to it being represented by only a few localities (today, there are over 20 locations known), this species is likely to be under sampled and the extent of occurrence (EOO) is too large for a threatened listing.This species is not known to be traded. ;
TerrestrialIn the Western Cape, the species is recorded from the three protected areas, Cedarberg Wilderness Area, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve and Karoo National Park; in the Free State the species was recorded in the Golden Gate National Park; in Lesotho it is found in Sehlabathebe National Park, as well as in the Maloti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation Area. No specific interventions are currently necessary, but conservation planning and engagement with the wind energy industry will be needed in future to mitigate subpopulation loss with wind farm construction. ;
