EC, SC & SE USA (from SE Oklahoma and SE Virginia S to C & E Texas and Florida), with extralimital records from New York , Pennsylvania , Indiana , Kentucky , S Oklahoma , and S Texas .	Head-body 47-73 mm , tail 35-50 mm , ear 11-14 mm , hindfoot 8-9 mm , forearm 39-47 mm ; weight 7-13- 8 g . Females are slightly larger than males. Dorsal fur is mahogany-brown, with whitish tips. Ventral furis paler than dorsum. Facial fur is paler and yellowish white. Throat and chest regions are whitish, sometimes similar to faint collar. There are whitish patches over shoulders and thumbs. Ears are short and rounded, with yellowish white fur on bases. Tragus is short and tapers to rounded tip. Uropatagium is entirely furred, with denser fur on proximal region. Forearm skin is brown, and wing membranes skin is blackish. Braincase is large, tapering slightly into robust rostrum. Nasal and palatal emargination is broad and shallow. P? is much smaller than P* and displaced to lingual side of tooth row; M? is much smaller than M' and M?; and cusps are tall and sharp. Dental formulais 11/3, C 1/1, P 2/2, M 3/3 (x2) = 32. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 28 and FN = 48, with moderately large submetacentric X-chromosome and minute Y-chromosome.	Typically wooded habitats such as mixed deciduous and pine forests, uplands, islands, prairies, shrub swamps, black gum ( Nyssa sylvatica , Nyssaceae ) forest, pure bay forest, pure cypress and mixed cypress forest, pine flatwoods, scrubby flatwoods, hammocks, lowland forests, river swamps, pine-oak and longleaf pine forests, over streams and ponds,at elevations generally below 500 m .	Flight of the Seminole Bat is direct and swift. It captures insects in flight, but some flightless prey occurs in diet. Foraging occurs mostly at treetop level at ¢. 6-15 m ; it also forages over ponds and streams, nearlights, in clearings and pine barrens, over prairies, and along forest edges. Diet includes moths,flies, beetles, dragonflies, bees, wasps, and crickets. Coleoptera , Hymenoptera , and Homoptera were most abundant by volume in fecal samples; Lepidoptera , Hemiptera , and Trichoptera were also found but in smaller proportions. In Florida , diet shifted during the year: 90% Odonata and 10% Coleoptera in July and 90% Coleoptera and 10% Hymenoptera in August.	Seminole Bats mate in autumn. Females have 1-4 young (average 3:3) each breeding season. Gestation lasts 80-90 days, and births occur from late May to early July. Pregnant females were caught from early May to mid-June and lactating females from earlyJune to earlyJuly.	The Seminole Bat starts flying at dusk. Temperature has a great influence on whetherit leaves the roost or not. In general, temperatures below 21°C seem to be inadequate to leave roosts; however, increased relative humidity can promote better flying conditions. Different reports state that, in general, a temperature of 18°C is the minimum for Seminole Bats to fly. Individuals were seen flying at 20°C and relative humidity of 38%. They do not hibernate but can become torpid; they can be seen flying throughout the year. Individuals have been spotted in warm winter days, especially in southern parts of the distribution. Roosts have been found mainly in clumps of Spanish moss (7 Tillandsia usneoides , Bromeliaceae ) but also leaves, loose bark, and sometimes caves. Roosts are located 1-1-6- 1 m aboveground on south west side of trees and with clear spaces below the hanging area to facilitate a drop down to begin flight. Roost trees are tall and usually near forest edges. Echolocation calls last ¢.7-1 milliseconds, with narrowband and single harmonic. Frequencies sweep down from c.54-4 kHz to ¢.36-8 kHz, with frequency of maximum energy at 40-1 kHz.	Seminole Bats usually roost alone, and rarely more than two individuals are found in the same roost. They migrate to southern parts of their distribution in winter, where they are considered one of the most abundant bat species. During migration, they have been observedjoining migrating bird groups, but no studies have determined how they navigate during migration.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Seminole Bat is widespread and presumably has a large population.	Alvarez-Castaneda & Gonzalez-Ruiz (2018) | Baird et al.

Seminole bats are aerial insectivorous. They feed in early evening, while in flight, on flies, beetles, true bugs, dragonflies, bees, wasps, and crickets. They are quick and direct when flying, feeding mostly among or above ;the tops of trees at about 6 to 15 m (Wilson and Ruff 1999). However, it is not uncommon to see them over open ponds, along forest edges, or near lights, presumably where insects accumulate. Like most microchiropterans, seminole bats find their insect prey through echolocation. Generally, seminole bats are found in lowland forest stands of mixed deciduous and pine trees. Although several bats may be found hanging together, roosting alone is more common. They hang 1.5 to 6.1 m above the ground on the southwest side of trees, clinging to the inside of clumps of Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides ), leaves, or loose bark; occasionally they can roost in caves. Roosting is more common in pine trees, especially during parturition and lactation. ;Trees that are selected for roosting are taller and larger in diameter than other trees near the roost area. Selected trees are also tend to be near forest edges that permit easy flight paths (Constantine 1958, 1966; Barbour and Davis 1969; Menzel ;et al. ;1998). The area directly below the moss where they hang is clear of other branches, allowing these bats to drop down to begin their flight. The ground beneath them is covered with leaf litter and other organic debris, thus reducing the amount of sunlight that is reflected on them when hanging.	Since these bats roost primarily in Spanish moss, the gathering of this moss could affect roosting behavior (Wilson and Ruff 1999). Although no studies have been done to determine whether there has been an impact, educating moss collectors about these roosting requirements could help seminole bats.	L. seminolus is a solitary bat species, and rarely are more than two individuals found roosting together (Wilson and Ruff 1999). Individuals usually roost alone and remain in the roost whenever the temperature is below 21°C. If the relative humidity increases, they are able to fly at lower temperatures. A sighting was reported at 20°C when the relative humidity was 38%. They do not hibernate, but do go into torpor. These bats fly throughout the year and have been spotted on warm days in the middle of winter. Seasonal migration does occur within their range in the southeastern United States. There are fewer seminole bats in the northern portions of their range during the winter, but in the south they are one of the most abundant bats active at that time of year. They have been known to join groups of migrating birds on southward migrations. No studies have yet been done to determine how they navigate their migration route. The possibilities include visual landmarks, smells, or winds (Constantine 1958, Neuweiler 2000). ;There have been no longevity studies on seminole bats. It has been noted that more females than males have been recorded in the older age class, which indicates a higher male mortality rate. If seminole bats survive the perils of youth, it is likely that they will live for many years (Kunz and Racey 1998).	Unknown	Lasiurus seminolus is distributed throughout southeastern United States, from east Texas and southeastern Oklahoma ;eastward to Florida and then northward to eastern North Carolina and Virginia, with extralimital records in Pennsylvania and New York; it is also found in N Veracruz (Mexico) ;and ;Bermuda (Simmons 2005).		Terrestrial	Several conservation and research actions are needed to assure protection of this species through its distribution. The species is found in a number of protected areas.
