Head-body 58-80 mm, tail 34-54 mm, ear 14-51 mm, hindfoot 9-16 mm, forearm 43-55 mm; weight 14-30 g. Dorsal fur is dark brownwith silvery frosted tips; ventral pelage is yellowish white with dull brown hairs mixed throughout, giving brindled or wavy pattern. Juveniles are darker and less frosted, being brown to reddish brown in color with yellowish-tipped hairs.. Skin, when visible, is dark or blackish. Wings are dark brown and narrow, and uropatagium encloses the whole tail except last vertebra, which protrudes. Broad, robust muzzle has large lateral glands, more visible in males. Skull is dorsally flattened, with braincase ¢.8: 2 mm wide. Mandible is massive, condyle-basal length ¢.16: 6 mm and zygomatic length c. 11 mm . Chromosomal complement typically has 2n = 38 and FNa = 50, with one specimen in Japan with FNa = 54.	Steppe habitats in Mongolia , as well as mountains, semi-deserts, and deserts, sometimes close to water, e.g. lakes and rivers throughout the species’ distribution.	The Asian Particolored Bat feeds over water—e.g. swamps. Lepidoptera , Diptera , and Coleoptera are main food items, with proportions varying seasonally. Large insect species may be preferred, but diet always is strongly influenced by relative insect abundance locally.	Maternity colonies have been found with tens to thousands of individuals roosting in buildings. Adult females give birth to average two young during late June and early July. Adult females and their offspring roost together from May to August to retain the necessary warmth during the maternity period. In the past, the Asian Particolored Bat probably used natural cavities such as hollow trees or crevices for maternity colonies, but due to increasing deforestation and subsequent drastic decrease in roost availability they are currently more and more found on man-made structures in urban environments.	Unlikeits sibling species, the Eurasian Particolored Bat ( Vespertilio murinus ), the Asian Particolored Bat tends to start foraging early at night, hunting insects in open areas. It roosts in hollow trees, buildings, and caves along the coast, and also within foliage. InJapan, it has also occupied some wood and laminar bat boxes, although never to date in the form of a maternity colony (mainly during the postlactating period). In general roost preferences change with season and internal temperature in the cavities. The species emits typical broadband modulated calls, highly plastic depending on the environment and clutter within the nearby vegetation. Typical echolocation pulses are FM/QCEF, with peak frequency at ¢.30-8 kHz, maximum frequency at ¢.46 kHz, minimum frequency at 22-8 kHz, and bandwidth at 23-2 kHz. In most areas, it is difficult to distinguish from other sympatric vespertilionids by means only of acoustic testing.

In Japan, this species roosts in tree cavities, buildings, under bridges, caves, tunnels and rock crevices, and hibernate in buildings and rock crevices (Fukui 2015). In Russia and Mongolia, they inhabit steppe as well as mountainous regions, semi-desert and desert regions, roosting in colonies in buildings or rocky areas (Sokolov and Orlov 1980), and feed around water sources or swampy sites. In Mongolia there is no population information available, but their colonies have been observed in a variety of places. One colony was found under a concrete bridge near Choibalsam over the Kherlen River (S. Dorjderem pers. comm.). Another breeding colony was found in a house by the Mongolian-Chinese border, at a military point called Erdentsagaan. In Transbaikalia, these bats are also occur mainly in open semi-arid lands, but prefer places nearby permanent water sources, they use human buildings and more rarely tree hollows for day roosts (Botvinkin 2002). In Russian Far East, these bats may inhabit also forested areas, foraging over canopies, clearings and swamps (Krivosheev 1984, Tiunov 1997). In Transbaikalia maximal known colony size was about 50 individuals, maternity colonies up to 3 thousand individuals are reported in southern Primoriye. In northern part of distribution range this species is most probably performs seasonal migrations, since no winter records were made in Russia and no adult males were captured in Russian Far East. In Taiwan, it mainly forages in rivers and coastal areas. The diets contain small hemipterans, coleopterans, dipterans, lepidopterans, hymenopterans and isopterans (Cheng and Chou 2012). From spring to summer, pregnant females form maternity colonies, in which the size ranges from tens to several thousands of individuals (Fukui 2015). Parturition occurs from late June to early July in Japan (Funakoshi and Uchida 1981). After the newborn young become independent, adult females, young males and young females emigrate from their colony in this order (Funakoshi and Uchida 1981). Both sexes reach sexual maturity in their first autumn (Funakoshi and Uchida 1981). In winter, they hibernate in roosts with 1 to several tens of individuals (Fukui 2015). Prolonged storage of spermatozoa occurs during the period of hibernation (Takazawa et al. 1990).	There are no major threats to this species throughout its range. It is commonly found around human settlements, therefore accidental mortality (accidental trapping and poisoning) probably occur but this is not considered a major threat. Roost disturbance is suspected a major threat to the population in Taiwan since over 99% of individuals recorded is found in a single area. The colony size has declined after a modification of the roost in an abandoned building in 2016 (Chou, C.-H. pers. obs.).. Because of conflicts with house owners, colonies formed in buildings are occasionally exterminated by the owners in Japan.	This species is widely distributed. There is no information on population sizes at present for most countries distributed. In Taiwan, a maternal colony of up to approximately 1,000 individuals was reported from a abandoned factory by the end of the breeding season in July. Pregnant females were found in mid May and young bats appeared from late May till mid June. New-borned bats were fully grown and able to fly by the mid July. The colony size fluctuated between 700-1,000 bats in a three-consecutive-year survey (Cheng and Chou 2012). In Transbaikalia this species is less common than V. murinus , which occurs there in the same habitats (Botvinkin 2002), it is much more abundant in southern Russian Far East (Krivosheev 1984). However in both cases available data is insufficient for clear estimations.	Unknown	This species is known from south-east Russia, Mongolia, the Korean Peninsula, central and eastern China, Taiwan, and Japan. In Japan, it is found on Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu (Fukui 2015). In Mongolia, it has been recorded in steppe habitats in Eastern Mongolia (Stubbe and Chotolchu 1968, Sokolov and Orlov 1980), including Herlen and Halh rivers, and close to Buir Lake (Bannikov 1954, Sokolov and Orlov 1980). In Russia it occurs in Transbaikalia, Amur basin and Primoriye (Kruskop 2012). In China, it is widespread across many provinces (Smith and Xie 2008). In Taiwan, it is confirmed only from few localities in the northwestern part of the island (Cheng et al. 2017b).	In Japan, there are reports of successful transplant of colonies to a “bat house” (Mukohyama 1987). In China, it is listed as Least Concern (LC) (Jiang et al. 2016).In Taiwan, it is listed as National Endangered (NEN) (Cheng et al. 2017a). Few individuals has been reported from the Shei-Pa National Park (Cheng et al. 2017b). This species is locally protected in some regions of Russia, it occurs in some protected areas such as Daurskyi and Kedrovaya Pad’ reserves.	Terrestrial	It occurs in several protected areas within its range.	Palearctic		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023). Batnames.org Species List Version 1.4 (1.4).
