David’s Myotis Myotis davidii French: Murin de David / German: David-Mausohr / Spanish: Ratonero de David Taxonomy. Vespertilio davidii Peters, 1869 , “ Peking ( China ).” Subgenus Myotis ; mystacinus species group. See M. mystacinus . Previously treated as three species, with recognition of M. nipalensis (Central and South Asia), and M. aurascens (south-eastern Europe and the Middle East), although nipalensis was | occasionally merged into M. aurascens, genetic data do not support any of these groupings. Nevertheless, M. david does seem to represent a complex of 2-3 species, which may be sympatric in some areas. Based on morphology and genetics, one form ( Afghanistan and mountains near Hindu Kush in Tajikistan and Kashmir) is probably a separate species, for which the name meinertzhageni would have priority (forms prezewalskii and pamirensis also included); it seems to be related to M. muricola . Two other clades appear to be close to M. mystacinus in differing degrees, one of them suggested to be closer to M. capaccini, M. browni , M. hasselt, and M. horsfieldii than to other forms currently included in M. davidii . All three clades are provisionally retained within a monotypic M. davidii , pending further study of the whole complex. The form hajastanicus (Sven Lake, Armenia ) is also currently included as a synonym ofthis species. Taxonomy very confused requires reassessment. Distribution. SE Europe from Albania and Greece (including Crete ) N to S Ukraine and S Russia , the Caucasus, Turkey , and N Iran , and through C Asia to W Mongolia , N, E & C China (including Hainan ), and the Himalayas; isolated populations in S Croatia and Korea . Specimens collected from SW Syria may representjuvenile Geoffroy’s Myotis ( M. emarginatus ) or a different form, and are not mapped here. Descriptive notes.

This species is associated with forest, where it is exclusively a cave roosting species. It has been found in areas of deciduous forest. It has often been reported from limestone karst areas. . Echolocation calls, wing shape, and dietary composition suggests that foraging may forage in forest. Examination of droppings indicates that this species forages on predominantly Coleoptera (57.7 % by volume) and Diptera (36 % by volume) (Yin et al. 2011).	You et al. (2013) showed the population size and the allelic richness may decrease with increase of anthropogenic disturbance intensity increased in Myotis davidii .	The largest known population is of close to a hundred individuals in Zhejiang, China (T. Jiang pers. comm. August 2018).	Unknown	This is an endemic species of China, occurring in the following provinces: Beijing, Hebei, Hong Kong (Smith and Xie 2008), Nei Mongol, Shanxi, (CSIS 2008), Hubei, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Ganshu, Hainan, Guangdong, Chongqin, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan (You et al. 2010, Jiang et al. 2015)		Terrestrial	This species occurs in Songshan, Shennongjia, and Pangquangou Nature Reserves (CSIS 2008), and may be present in other protected areas. More research is needed in the areas of population status, biology and ecology, habitat status, and threats. In China, this species was Listed as Least Concern in China Mammal Red List (Jiang et al. 2015) and Red List of China’s Vertebrates (Jiang et al. 2016).	Palearctic		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
