Head—body 55-70 mm, tail 40-52 mm, ear 14-19 mm, hindfoot 8:2-11-9 mm, forearm 48-54 mm; weight 17-28 g. The Eastern False Pipistrelle is robust bat, with dark brown to reddish-brown upperparts, and dark gray underparts. Face is naked and pale brown. Ears, flight membrane, lips, feet, and forearms are blackish. Ears are long and narrow with rounded tips, and a distinct notch on the upper rear margin; tragus is long, narrow and strongly curved forward; ears overlap when pressed over crown. Baculum is broad, proximally widened, roof-like in cross section, and without distal expansion; it appears to be close to the similar broad and ventrally fluted structure of many of Hypsugo species. Skull is large with well-developed sagittal crests, dorsal profile relatively flat, frontals rising only slightly in interorbital region, characteristic occipital helmet, palate long and no basial pits. I* unicuspid; I’ minute; P? tiny, less than half size of I’. There is a distinct gap between upper incisors and canines. Condylo-canine length 17-6-18-7 mm; maxillary tooth row 6-8-7-4 mm. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 44 and FN = 52.	Tall, mature, wet forest. Eastern False Pipistrelles inhabit sclerophyll forests from Great Dividing Range to the coast. In Tasmania found in wet sclerophyll and coastal mallee. In Queensland they have been found within tall, open forest, subtropical riparian rainforest, cool temperate rainforest and open eucalypt forest. They prefer wet habitats where trees are more than 20 m high. They are uncommon in ridge-top forests where soil fertility is low. Elevation ranges from sea level to 1500 m . They are absent from small patches of remnant forest, preferring continuous forest where they forage along tracks, creeks, and rivers. In dense forest regrowth they frequently fly along trails.	Eastern False Pipistrelles feed on moths, rove beetles, chafers, weevils, plant bugs, flies, and ants. In Tasmania , they eat mainly beetles (75%), moths (10%), and bugs (8%).	Males produce sperm in late summer and store it in the epididymis over the winter. Females produce a large “hibernation follicle” in autumn. Ovulation, fertilization, and pregnancy occur in late spring and early summer. Single young are born in December. Lactation continues through January to February.	The Eastern False Pipistrelle generally roosts in hollow trunks of eucalypt trees, sometimes in buildings. In the Australian Alps, roost trees are exclusively older smooth-barked eucalypts. Echolocation FM-calls are 35-39 kHz, surprisingly high for a bat of thissize.	Individuals are often solitary, while colonies range from three to 80, and are mostly male or female groups, although mixed colonies sometimes occur; one roost contained 79 males, one female, and three White-striped Free-tailed Bats ( Austronomus australis ). In southern Australia , the species apparently hibernates during winter months. Given its size and wing shape it is expected to be highly mobile, with comparatively large foraging range. This bat is not very maneuverable and forages below or near the canopy, usually in forests with an open structure. Radio-tracked individuals changed roosts almost every night, and returned to old roosts on different nights.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List in view of its wide distribution, expected large population, occurrence in a number of protected areas, and lack of evidence of any major decline; no significant threats are known. The Eastern False Pipistrelle is probably declining due to habitat loss and removal of large trees.	Adams et al. (1987) | Churchill (1998, 2008) | Corbet & Hill (1992) | Driessen et al.

This decline is projected to continue for at least an additional 5.6 years (one generation). The species is presumed to have suffered substantial direct mortality and loss of habitat during the wildfires caused by the extreme drought/heat events of 2019/20 in South-eastern Australia. During these fires, 45% of all F. tasmaniensis records ;(i.e. 1,335 of a total of 2,958 records from across the species range) ;burnt and 42.9% of forest habitat within 10 km of these species records was destroyed or severely degraded by wildfires. ;Post fire bat surveys from Kosciuszko National Park conducted in April 2020 (several months after the end of the fires) indicate that there was an overall decline in bat species richness (50%) and in abundance (83% decline using call activity as an index) compared to pre-fire surveys, indicating that bats in general had been severely impacted. Site occupancy for ;F. tasmaniensis ;declined from 80% pre-fire to 0% post fire, with no detections at any of the sites the species had been recorded from prior to the fires (M. Schulz pers. comm.). The cause of the decline, extreme wildfires in conjunction with extreme heat events, is an emerging long-term patter that is unlikely to be reversible and is predicted to increase in frequency, intensity and damage to this species preferred habitats of large undisturbed forests and riparian areas (Collins et al. 2019).	This species is a relatively large, nocturnal insectivorous bat. It has a preference for tall, mature, wet forest and riparian areas (Law et al . 2008), but has also been recorded in some drier forest types (Menkhorst and Lumsden 1995). It prefers large tracts of undisturbed forest. Animals have been recorded roosting in tree hollows in eucalypts and occasionally in buildings (Law et al. 2008), although it is not typically found in urban areas. It is a fast flying species with low manoeuvrability, that forages in forests with an open structure. Its diet consists mostly of beetles, with moths and other insects also taken (Law et al. 2008).	<p></p><p>This species is sensitive to forest disturbances that result in changes in roost tree and canopy density such as residential development, forestry, fire, and ranching, and show significantly reduced presence in disturbed forests decades later (Glass 1998, Law and Chidel 2001). The species is dependent on trees for both roosting and foraging and prefers large tracts of undisturbed forest. Many large, hollow-bearing trees in forested environments were destroyed during the 2019/20 wildfires, which was exacerbated by climate change, extreme heat events, and drought, which extensively overlapped this species range on mainland Australia. The site location of 45% of post 1990 F. tasmaniensis records and 42.9% of the surrounding forested area within 10km of these records burnt in 2019/20 alone, primarily along the eastern coastal ranges. Pre and post fire bat surveys from Kosciuszko National Park conducted in April 2020 indicate that there was an overall decline in bat species richness (-50%) and abundance (-83% using call activity as an index). Site occupancy for F. tasmaniensis declined from 80% pre-fire to 0% post fire (M. Schulz pers comm. 2020). The South Australian population is of conservation concern because it is confined to small remnant native vegetation blocks that are vulnerable to both wildfire and fuel reduction burns. Further, threats from feral cats are pervasive and insecticide and pesticide use is a major concern.</p><p></p>	<p>Due to past forest loss and degradation, and the 2019/20 wildfires, the population is inferred to have declined by at least 30% over the last two (2) generations (GL = 5.6 years; Pacifici et al. 2013) and this decline is projected to continue. The species is inferred to have suffered substantial direct mortality and loss of habitat during the wildfires caused by the extreme drought/heat events of 2019/20 in South-eastern Australia. During 2019/20 season the location of 45% of all F. tasmaniensis records burnt and 42.9% of forest habitat within 10 km of these species records was destroyed or degraded by wildfires. The cause of the decline, extreme wildfires associated with extreme heat events, is an emerging long term pattern that is unlikely to be reversible and is predicted to increase in frequency, intensity and damage to this species preferred habitats of large undisturbed forests and riparian areas (Collins et al. 2019). Population size considered to be greater than 10,000 mature individuals based on the extent of occurrence. Population densities vary across its distribution (Pennay et al. 2011), ranging from being uncommon to relatively common in suitable habitat. ;</p>	Decreasing	<p>This species is present in eastern and south-eastern Australia with its range extending from the Queensland-New South Wales border through Victoria to Tasmania, and just into the far south-eastern corner of South Australia. It is known from near sea level to 1,500 m asl (Menkhorst and Lumsden 1995), but is more common at higher altitudes.</p>		Terrestrial	The species has been recorded from a number of protected areas and is listed as Endangered in South Australia and Vulnerable in New South Wales. ;It is not currently listed as threatened in Victoria, Tasmania or federally, however, due to the impact of the recent wildfires this warrants a reassessment. Invasive species are emerging as a threat. Further studies are needed into the ecology, distribution, abundance, and threats to this species. Long-term monitoring is required to ascertain population trends.	Australasian		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023). Batnames.org Species List Version 1.4 (1.4).
