Eptesicus pachyomus was recently recognized as a distinct species from FE. serotinus based on limited genetic and morphological data. In a recent genetic study by J. Juste and colleagues in 2013, E. pachyomus was found to be either sister to E. serotinus with a high degree of separation (using nuclear genes) or sister to a clade including a paraphyletic E. serotinus , E. ognevi , and E. bottae (using mitochondrial genes), butit consistently formed a monophyletic clade distinct from FE. serotinus . Specific status of E. pachyomus is still debatable because more recent genetic studies by I. V. Artyushin and colleagues in 2018 found conflicting results using mitochondrial and nuclear genes, with nuclear genes supporting the traditional view that E. serotinus includes both E. isabellinus and E. pachyomus . Eptesicus pachyomus is retained as a full species here, pending additional studies using rigorous genetic and morphological data across distributions of all taxa attributed to E. serotinus sensu lato . The Korean endemic taxon E. kobayashii is typically recognized as distinct species, but this has been questioned because no recent records have been reported and there are very limited data to supportits specific status. Eptesicus kobayashii has variously been included under FE. nilssonii or E. serotinus , but it appears to have more of an affinity to E. serotinus (now E. pachyomus ) and is tentatively included as a synonym of E. pachyomus pallens until additional studies can prove its distinction. Taxon pashtonus is considered a synonym of the nominate subspecies here because it does not appear to be morphologically distinctive enough to represent a distinct subspecies. Exact distributional limits between E. pachyomus and E. serotinus are still uncertain in Iran , Afghanistan , Pakistan , India , and China .

Oriental Serotines are probably similar to the Eurasian Serotine in foraging strategy, forging by slow hawking in open areas.

Oriental Serotines usually roost alone or in small groups throughout much of the year; females probably form larger maternity colonies during the breeding season.	Not assessed on The IUCN Red List.

Movements, Home range and Social organization. Oriental Serotines usually roost alone or in small groups throughout much of the year; females probably form larger maternity colonies during the breeding season. Status and Conservation.

This taxon inhabits varied habitats from semi-desert and steppe habitats to tropical forests. Usually roost in shaded areas, such as the cracks of rocks or buildings. Sometimes found in frontal parts of caves. Generally solitary or found in small groups. It is thought that its diet may include butterflies and moths. Nothing much is known about its ecology.	There are no major threats to the species throughout its range.	There is no information on population sizes at present.	Unknown	The species is widespread and is currently found in from China, Taiwan, Laos PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and Iran.	This species it not included in trade and has no commercial value.	Terrestrial	This bat requires no special conservations actions besides conservation activities common for all bats of the temperate zone. Its range does include a few protected areas in its range.
