Dorsal pelage of the Gobi Serotine is variable but generally pale tawny to buff (roots of hairs dark), ranging from pale ocherous tawny or warm buff (with black bare skin on ears, face, and membranes) to very pale light buff (with pale gray skin). Ventral pelage is lighter, generally straw white (roots of hairs nearly black). Ears are subtriangular, with broadly rounded tips,slightly convex anterior margins, and mostly concave posterior margins, with convexity at bases; tragus is short with rounded tip, curving forward. Baculum is short and roughly Tto Y-shaped, with shallowly bifurcated and wide base, short shaft, and rounded tip. Skull is relatively low; supraorbital ridge is extenuated; rostrum, palate, and zygomatic arches are narrow; and condylo-basal length is 15-1 mm (one specimen). I* is bicuspid, I’ is distinctly shorter than I?, and lower molars are myotodont.	Variety of desert, semi-desert, and steppe habitats, often in mountainous terrain up to elevations of 2585 m in Iran and 3350 m in Pakistan but in deserts as low as 200 m . Gobi Serotines are sometimes found in areas of human habitation.	No information.	The Gobi Serotine apparently has slow reproductive and growth rates and usually has only one young/pregnancy.	Gobi Serotines forage during the night and appear to have an activity peak a little after sunset. They generally roost in cracks in rocks or buildings and rarely in front parts of caves.	The Gobi Serotine roosts alone or in small groups.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Subspecies bobrinskoi is listed as a distinct species also classified as Least Concern. The Gobi Serotine is widespread but considered one of the rarest species of bats in nearly all parts of its distribution.

Accessed on [28 September, 2022].	41531	Eptesicus gobiensis	ANIMALIA	CHORDATA	MAMMALIA	CHIROPTERA	VESPERTILIONIDAE	Eptesicus	gobiensis	Bobrinskii, 1926	Based on morphological and molecular evidence, it is suggested that E. gobiensis includes two susbspecies â€“ E. g. gobiensis (including centralasiaticus Bobrinskii, 1926; kashgaricus Bobrinskii, 1926) and E. g. bobrinskoi (Artyushin et al. 2012). Is sometime considered conspecific with E. nilssoni .	20000000	Eptesicus gobiensis	Least Concern		2019	2018-08-31 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	This species is confirmed as Least Concern due to its wide distribution, stable population size, and no known major threats. The species is naturally not abundant.	E. g. gobiensis inhabits desert, semi-desert and steppe habitats and dry areas. Usually roosts in shaded areas, such as the cracks of rocks or buildings, but not in trees' cracks. Sometimes found in frontal parts of caves. Generally solitary or found in small groups. This form has not been thoroughly researched, and so there is a lack of information on the ecology of this taxon. It is thought that some eat butterflies, and that they are the prey items of nocturnal raptors. These species has a low reproductive rate and a slow growth rate, giving birth to small numbers of young, often one at a time (M. Stubbe pers. comm.). E. g. bobrinskoi inhabits deserts on the NE coast of Aral Sea. There are insufficient data on the biology of this taxon too. Nursing colonies were found in clay constructions.	Drying of water sources and droughts threaten this species, although it remains unclear if these represent natural environmental changes or are driven by anthropogenic activity. A proposed hydro-electric dam in along the Chono Haraikh River in Great Lakes Depression will potentially create habitat loss along the river connecting the lakes. Accidental mortality constitutes a minor threat, as it roosts in livestock pens which are frequently moved. There are no data on major threats to the Western form (E. g. bobrinskoi ).	The Eastern form (E. g. gobiensis ) is widespread and regularly distributed in Mongolia (M. Stubbe pers. comm.), Kazakhstan and Russia (Tuva). There is no data available on abundance at present, however, it is naturally not abundant in Russia and Turkmenia. There are no data on population size of the Western form (E. g. bobrinskoi ).	Unknown	The larger Eastern form, E. g. gobiensis is distributed in Russian Federation (Tuva), E Kazakhstan (Tarbagatai, Zaisan), Turkmenistan, Afghanistan (Kabul), Iran (Elburz), China (Xinjiang and Xizang), Mongolia (Mongol Altai Mountain Range, Great Lakes Depression, Valley of the Lakes, Govi Altai Mountain Range, southern parts of Hangai Mountain Range, southern parts of Middle Halh Steppe, Northern Govi, Eastern Govi, Dzungarian Govi Desert, Trans Altai Govi Desert, and Alashani Govi Desert), Pakistan, N India (Gilgit), Xinjiang (DeBlase 1980, Bates and Harrison 1997, Smith and Xie 2008, Benda and Gaisler 2015). The smaller Western form E. g. bobrinskoi is distributed in NW Kazakhstan, to the north of Aral Sea (Strelkov 1980, Strelkov and Shaimardanov 1983) and Syria (Benda and Reiter 2006). Records of E. gobiensis from Tajikistan and W China including Tibet, and Nepal are uncertain (HorÃ¡cek et al. 2000, Benda and Gaisler 2015).		Terrestrial	Approximately 17% of the speciesâ€™ range in Mongolia occurs within protected areas. Also, appears in protected areas in Russia and Kazakhstan. More research is needed to determine population status and trends of E. g. bobrinskoi .	Palearctic		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
