20000000 Myotis longipes Data Deficient 2016 2016-01-27 00:00:00 UTC 3.1 English This species is assessed as Data Deficient in view of the absence of sufficient information on its extent of occurrence, natural history, threats and conservation status.This species roosts in large colonies up to two thousands of individuals in caves, cracks and crevices in old disused buildings (Molur et al . 2002) and old tunnels and underground canals (Hanak and Gaisler 1969, Smith and Xie 2008) in primary or secondary forests. It is an early flyer and hunts over water surfaces (Bates and Harrison 1997).
In South Asia, it is threatened by habitat loss, disturbance to roosting sites and accidental mortality due to ongoing conflicts within the species' range (Molur et al . 2002). As all species forming large aggregations, this species should be sensitive for direct human activities. ;
Little is known about the population trends and abundance of this species. UnknownThis species is largely endemic to South Asia, where it has been recorded from a few localities in Afghanistan (Lowgar and Nangarhar provinces), India (Jammu and Kashmir, and Meghalaya) and Nepal (Western Nepal) (Molur et al . 2002, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2012). A report from Maharashtra as reported by Molur et al . (2002) is erroneous. It has been recorded from 300 to 2,000 m asl (Molur et al . 2002). Wang (2002) records that the species is present in Guizhou, China (Smith and Xie 2008). Species identity of Chinese records require further revision. Records for Viet Nam are generally considered to be dubious (Bates et al . 1999) and most probably should be attended to Myotis laniger or Myotis annamiticus (Topal 1997, Kruskop 2013); thus they are not included here.
Terrestrial Although there are no direct conservation measures in place, the species has been recorded from protected areas in India, such as the Balpakram National Park in Mizoram. Population monitoring and habitat management are recommended (Molur et al. 2002). Indomalayan FALSE FALSE Global Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
