Head—body 66-72 mm, tail 49-57 mm, ear 18-4-20-6 mm, forearm 46-1-50-4 mm; weight 14-3 g. Dorsal pelage of the Anatolian Serotine is light to dark creamy buff, with rusty brown to brownish gray tinge; ventral pelage is whitish beige. Bare parts of face, ears, membranes, and limbs are dark brown to blackish brown. Ears are relatively short and subtriangular, with roundedtips; tragus is ¢.50% the ear length and same width from base to tip, with rounded tip. Wings and uropatagium are semitranslucent, and tail protrudes c.3-5 mm past uropatagium; postcalcarial lobe is well developed. Baculum is larger (0-97-12 mm long) and more massive than in Botta’ Serotine ( E. bottae ) and is Y-shaped (base with moderately deep bifurcation, less so than in the Eurasian Serotine, E. serotinus , that has similarly shaped baculum) rather than triangular. Compared with Botta’s Serotine, the Anatolian Serotine has broader and more robust skull and more massive braincase overall; craniodental characteristics are otherwise similar to Botta’s Serotine. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 50, FNa = 48, and FN = 52 (Rhodes Island and Turkey ).	Arid and semiarid deserts, steppes, and rocky areas, generally not far from water, but also dry forested and temperate habitats, such as deciduous steppe forest climaxes in Iraq and Iran , and Mediterranean woodland climax and steppe-maquis areas in the Levant region and Turkey , from sea level to elevations of more than 1850 m . Anatolian Serotines are found in highlands of the Zagros Mountainsin Iran and primarily in lowlands in Lebanon (mean elevation of 338-8 m and maximum of 1025 m ) and Syria (10-370 m).	Anatolian Serotines forage by slow hawking in open and semi-open areas along cliffs and vegetation and around streetlamps. They appear to feed rather opportunistically on various insects. In Syria , two sample sets offeces contained mostly Hymenoptera (Formicoidea) ; another two sets of digestive tracts contained mainly Diptera (Brachycera) , followed by Heteroptera. In Turkey , Coleoptera (particularly Carabidae ) were the most prominent in diets. A single sample from Rhodes Island contained mostly Hymenoptera , and a sample from Lebanon included mostly Coleoptera , Hymenoptera , and Heteroptera. Three digestive tracts of bats in Iran contained Coleoptera (40% by volume), Orthoptera (25%), Lepidoptera (20%), Neuroptera (10%), and Hemiptera ( Aphididae ; 5%), and two fecal pellets contained Odonata (60%) and Hymenoptera (Formicoidea; 40%).	In Syria , one postpartum Anatolian Serotine and four pregnant females were caught in late May. Each of pregnant female had two fetuses. A nearly full-grown young roosting with its mother was captured in July in Syria . Births in Syria likely occur in May-June, which might be true in Lebanon because a pregnant female with two fetuses was caught in early June and young in mid-July.	Day roosts have been found in crevices between bricks and stones in buildings, and some individuals have been netted at entrances of caves, suggesting that they roost in caves. Search-call shape is FM/QCF sweep. Calls in Iran had peak frequencies of 28:9-29-1 kHz. On Rhodes Island,start frequencies were ¢.29-32 kHz, and end frequencies were ¢.27-28 kHz.	The Anatolian Serotine appears to roost in colonies of 1-3 individuals. In Turkey , maternity colonies with 15-20 individuals and solitary individuals of both sexes, females occasionally having young, have been found. In Syria , Anatolian Serotines shared roosts with Savi’s Pipistrelles ( Hypsugo savii ), Greater Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), Lesser Myotis ( Myotis blythii ), Greater Myotis ( M. myotis ), and Natterer’s Myotis ( M. nattereri ).	Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. The Anatolian Serotine is included under Botta’s Serotine, which is classified as Least Concern. Little is known regarding its ecology and threats, but it appears to be relatively widespread and is common around the eastern Mediterranean.	Artyushin, Bannikova et al.

Its roosting preferences are unknown, but one maternity roost has been found in Turkey in a building crevice, comprising 15 to 20 individuals. (Albayrak and Asan 1999). It is known to forage around streetlamps in Turkey and in the vicinity of urban areas on Rhodes (Benda et al. 2012, A. Lefebvre pers. comm.). It feeds on a range of insects. Orthoptera, Coleoptera, Odonata and Lepidoptera where the most common orders of insect preyed on in Iran whereas E. anatolicus seemed to feed almost exclusively on Carabidae (Coleoptera) in Turkey (Benda et al. 2012).</p>	Understanding of the threats to the species is limited as the ecology of the species is poorly known. This species, unlike E. bottae , seems to rely on Mediterranean habitats which are highly at risk because of climate change, mainly because of the increased occurrence of fires (Barredo et al. 2016) as well as urbanisation, especially in coastal areas (Cuttelod et al. 2009).	<p>This is a widespread, but relatively unknown species. It appears to be generally common, especially along the coast of South Anatolia as well as the Greek Islands. It appears to be quite rare in Lebanon from where there are very few records (Benda et al. 2016). The population is presumed to be stable.</p>	Stable	<p>This is a Middle eastern species distributed along a belt of Mediterranean habitats spanning from Rhodes and other Dodecanese Islands (Symi and Megisti) (Greece) to Iran (Spitzenberger 1994, von Helversen 1998, Hanak et al. 2001, Benda et al. 2016, Benda et al. 2018, Benda and Uhrin 2017, Mensoor 2020). The unique record in Northern Cyprus is believed to be an accidental record (Benda 2007, Benda 2018). It has been recorded from sea level to 1,310 m (Benda et al. 2012).</p> 		Terrestrial	This species is protected on the Greek Islands under the Bonn convention which needs to be updated to reflect taxonomic changes (NOTE: it is listed as Eptesicus bottae in said legislation). This species does not occur in protected areas. More research is needed to better understand the species’ ecological needs and the dynamics of its populations in order to develop adequate conservation plans.
