Specific epithet is sometimes misspelled seabrai . Because ofits unique wing glands, seabrae was originally included in its own genus Cistugo but later considered a subgenus of Myotis . Karyological studies further showed that it differed from all Myotis by having higher chromosome number (2n = 50) and all acrocentric autosomal complement (FN = 48). Molecular reconstructions based on several mitochondrial and nuclear genes not only supported distinctness of Cistugo at the generic level but also showed that it deserved familial-level divergence. Phylogenetically, Cistugidae is basal to Vespertilionidae radiation and only contains two species, C. seabrae and C. lesueur that are very closely related and possibly conspecific. Monotypic.	Endemic to SW Africa; known to occurin scattered areas from type locality on SW coast of Angola S across W Namibia to N parts of Northern Cape Province in South Africa .	Head-body 40-54 mm, tail 32-40 mm, ear 10-13 mm, hindfoot 5-6 mm, forearm 30-1-35-4 mm; weight 2:5— 4.2 g . Tibia lengths are 12:2—-13-9 mm, and wingspans are 200-220 mm. The Angolan Wing-gland Batis very small, without noseleaf and tail nearly entirely enclosed in interfemoral membrane (only one-half of last vertebra protruding from uropatagium). Ears are rounded, relatively large, and not funnel-shaped, reaching nose tip when held forward; outer margin is deeply notched at mid-height. Tragus is straight, elongated (reaching ear notch) with relatively broad base (c.2-8 mm), andtapering toward tip; frontal margin is straight; and external parts are distinctly convex. Wing membraneis attachedto base oftoe. Uropatagiumis essentially naked, bordered by elongated and unkeeled calcar reaching halfwayto tail tip. Hindfoot is very small, less than one-halfoftibia length. Thumb is short, without thickened structure at its base and bearing small claw. Penis is very short (c. 3 mm ) and cylindrical. Dorsal pelageis moderately dense, yellowish brown, orange-brown, or grayish brown, with hair bases much darker, blackish. Ventral pelageis lighter, beige, or cream-colored, with darker bases near root ofhairs. Naked parts ofskin (face, ears, and membranes) are dark brown. As detailed in the original description, the Angolan Wing-gland Bat resembles small species of Myotis byits general bodytype, tragus shape, and dentition, but presenceof 2-3 translucent glands close to distal parts offorearm of each wing is unique to Cistugo . In the Angolan Wing-gland Bat, these glands are locatedcloseto radius, but their exact locations on plagiopatagium arevariable. Skull size 1s diminutive (greatest lengths 12:2-13-2 mm), with weak dentition (uppertooth rowlength 4-8-5-5 mm) and no apparent sagittal or occipital crests. Condylo-incisive length is usually less than 12: 6 mm . Presence of two equally small upper premolars, the second being variably intruded into tooth row, distinguishes Cistugo from most vespertilionid bats; in Myotis species, first upper premolar is proportionally larger than second. Other similarsized vespertilionids, such as small Neoromicia , have onlya single small upper premolar and also possess rounded tips to tragus. Lower canine has distinct lingual ridge that extends nearlyto tip, which is unique to Cistugo bats. All lower molars are myotodont, as in Myotis .	Rocky habitats; arid and semiarid regions with sparse vegetation, but often near open water; and anthropogenic habitats such as citrus orchards or shade trees in villages, mostly below elevations of 1000 m .	Angolan Wing-gland Bats are insectivorous, but exact diet composition is unknown. Wing morphology and echolocation characteristics are typical of a bat feeding on the edge ofcluttered habitats. Angolan Wing-gland Bats fly low aboveground and close to vegetation, apparently to glean small insects from leaves.	Litter size of the Angolan Wing-gland Bat is likely one young, as in other related species, but no precise data on patterns of reproduction are known.	Angolan Wing-gland Bats are nocturnal and seenflying shortlyafter sunset, suggesting relatively early night-time activity. They have been observed resting in an unused building at midnight, indicating that main periods of hunting activityin early and late night are interspersed byresting, as is typical of other insectivorous bats. Roosting habits of Angolan Wing-gland Bats are largely unknown, but caves orcrevices are likely their natural roosting sites. Some captured bats were active during austral winter, suggesting that they might not hibernate. Echolocationcalls are typical of lowduty echolocating bats, with strongly FM initial component terminating with short CF component. Call parameters (mean + SD) recorded in Northern Cape Province of South Africa are: peak frequencyof 48-5 + 0-7 kHz, bandwidth of 24-4 + 10-8 kHz, and duration of 3-1 + 0-7 milliseconds.	No information.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCNRed List. Angolan Wing-gland Bats are known fromscattered localities distributed overa large area covering habitats that are not likely to be impacted by anthropogenic changes, except very locally where mining operations can threaten their survival. Although they are rare in museumcollections, some populations can be locally common, for examplein orchards bordering largerivers. The Angolan Wing-gland Bat has not been reported in anylegally protected area.	Bickham et al. (2004) | Eick et al. (2005) | Gunnell et al.

Accessed on [28 September, 2022].	44788	Cistugo seabrae	ANIMALIA	CHORDATA	MAMMALIA	CHIROPTERA	CISTUGIDAE	Cistugo	seabrae	Thomas, 1912	The species has historically been included in the genus Myotis (Family: Vespertilionidae), but molecular studies show that the genus is distinct from all other Vespertilionidae, and is distinctive enough to be placed in its own family, Cistugidae (Lack et al. 2010). Given their similarity, the taxonomic relationship between C . lesueuri and C . seabrae remains controversial (Corbet &; Hill 1980; Meester et al. 1986; Simmons 2005; Monadjem et al. 2010; Kearney 2013). They are provisionally treated here as distinct species pending further investigation.	20000000	Cistugo seabrae	Least Concern		2017	2016-08-31 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Although this species is known mainly from isolated records from a large area, it is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because there are no threats, making it unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.	Little is known about the natural history of this species. All of the localities from which they have been collected are arid with a mean annual rainfall of less than 100 mm (Skinner and Chimimba 2005). Specimens have usually been caught close to open water, and have been observed gleaning insects from orange trees (Roberts 1951; Taylor 2000; Skinner and Chimimba 2005).	There are no major threats to this species. It may be locally threatened by mining operations in a small part of its range.	It appears to be a rarely recorded species.	Unknown	This southern African species ranges from the type locality of Moçâmedes in southwestern Angola, southwards through western Namibia (the four localities of Berseba, Huab River mouth, Lüderitz district, and 70 km west of Maltahohe) to three localities in the Northern Cape of South Africa (Goegab, Goodhouse on the Orange River, and Steyerskraal) (Herselman 1980; Skinner and Chimimba 2005).		Terrestrial	It is not known if there are any direct conservation measures in place for this species, and it is unclear if it occurs within any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution and natural history of this little known species.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
