M. v. longicrus True, 1886 — W Canada (SW Yukon , British Columbia including Vancouver I, and S Alberta ) and W USA (extreme SW Alaska , Washington , W Oregon , and NW & WC California ).	Head—-body 43-63 mm , tail 40-50 mm , hindfoot 8-11 mm , ear 12-15 mm , forearm 38-42 mm ; weight 5-10 g . Dorsal pelage of the Long-legged Myotis is dark brown to reddish brown, occasionally blond; venter is lighter. Bare face, ears, and membranes are generally brown, but face and ears often match fur’s color. Snout is short and furred nearly to nose. Ears are medium-sized, with rounded tips; tragus is moderately long and pointed. Calcar is distinctly keeled, and underside of wing is lightly furred near body to a line from elbow to knee; hindfeet are small; and wing attaches to hindfoot at middle of metatarsus. Skull has short rostrum, smoothly rising forehead, and elevated occiput. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 44 and FN = 50.	Primarily mountainous areas dominated by coniferous forests but also oak and riparian woodlands and deserts at elevations of 60-3770 m (typically 2000-3000 m ).	[.ong-legged Myotis eat a variety of insects (e.g. Diptera, Isoptera , Neuroptera , Hymenoptera, Homoptera , and small Coleoptera ) but favor Lepidoptera . In Idaho , feces contained Lepidoptera (49-2% volume, 100% frequency), Coleoptera (31:1%, 100%), and smaller amounts of Diptera , Hemiptera , Hymenoptera, Trichoptera , and Neuroptera . They are rapid and directfliers and have been recorded at speeds of 15-17 km /h. When hunting, they are known to pursue prey through, under, and over forest canopies and can detect prey at 5-10 m .	[.ong-legged Myotis breed in late summer and autumn beginning in August. Spermatogenesis begins in August in New Mexico but is repressed until winter hibernation months, followed by spermiogenesis primarily in May-August (peak in July). Females store sperm until ovulation occurs after hibernation in March—May. Births of single young occur in May-August. Depending on location, pregnant females have been caught from mid-April to mid-August. Males appear to become sexually active in their first year, at least in Alberta . A banded individuallived up to 21 years old.	Long-legged Myotis leave roosts in early evening well before dark and generally eat their fill in the first 30 minutes of foraging, but there is a peak in general activity in the first 3—4 hours after sunset. Individuals rest in night roosts in buildings, caves, or mines. They have been most active at temperatures of 12-18°C, but they likely have a wider temperature range for activity. During the day, they roost primarily in trees but also occasionally rock crevices and abandoned buildings; caves are not used during the day. In winter, these bats congregate in caves and mines to hibernate. Calls are steep FM sweeps, with average start frequency of 89 kHz, end frequency of 40 kHz, peak frequency of 46 kHz, and maximum duration of 10 milliseconds in Arizona .	During spring and summer, female Long-legged Myotis roost in large maternity colonies that can include hundreds of individuals; males roost alone. They move short distances locally when moving between hibernacula and summer foraging areas.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Longlegged Myotis does not face any major threats, but local roost disturbance is likely a threat to hibernating individuals. DDE, DDT, and DDD residues were found in carcasses and brains of Long-legged Myotis in eastern Oregon , suggesting bioaccumulation of pesticides is a threat.

These bats are found in mountainous or relatively rugged areas, inhabiting primarily coniferous forests, although they may sometimes be found in oak or riparian woodlands and even desert areas (Wilson and Ruff 1999). They establish roosts in trees, including large ponderosa pine sags, rock crevices, fissures in stream banks, and abandoned buildings. Caves and mines are not used in the day, but M. volans can be captured there at night (van Zyll de Jong 1985) or when they hibernate (Wilson and Ruff 1999). By migrating locally, these bats may shift habitat seasonally. These bats form large nursery colonies, which may number in the hundreds. These colonies occur most commonly in trees. Mating occurs before they enter hibernation in late August or September. Mature females produce one offspring, although it is unknown at what age sexual maturity is reached. Time of parturition varies with latitude. Young are born in late June and July. It is speculated that most juvenile males are sexually active. Banded individuals have been recorded living to 21 years of age (Nagorsen and Brigham 1993, van Zyll de Jong 1985). Flight is stronger, more direct, and with less flutter than most other bats of the genus. These bats begin emerging from the daytime roost well before dark, fill their stomachs within about 0.5 hour of foraging, and retire to some shelter such as a building, cave, or mine for a night resting period. These bats feed mainly upon moths but have been known to eat a variety of other, mostly soft-bodied, insects such as flies, termites, lacewings, wasps, true bugs, leaf-hoppers, and small beetles (Warner and Czaplewski 1984).	There are no major threats throughout the species' range. Long-legged Myotis may be affected by closure of abandoned mines without adequate surveys, disturbance by humans, ;and certain forest management practices that reduce foraging habitat quality, availability of roosts or increase habitat fragmentation. Residues of DDT and its metabolites have been found in this species in Oregon.	This species occurs in colonies of 2,000-5,000 individuals throughout much of its range. Total adult population size is unknown but apparently quite large (likely greater than 100,000). ;Habitats vary from desert floodplains and rocky canyonlands to the cave country from central Texas to southcentral Kansas. In summer, this species congregates in caves, mines, and less often in buildings. Most individuals in populations in Arizona and California appear to be migratory and most in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas appear to be permanent residents that hibernate in caves during winter. In Texas, recent data indicate that this species appears to be relatively common in areas where formerly it was thought to be rare (Bradley et al . 1999, Higginbotham et al . 2002).	Stable	The species is found from Jalisco to Veracruz (Mexico), Alaska Panhandle (USA) to Baja California (Mexico), east to Northern Nuevo León (Mexico), South Dakota (USA), and Central Alberta (Canada) (Simmons 2005).		Terrestrial	Some forest management practices can affect availability of key resources; but, probably this bat is secure throughout much of range. Through its distributional range, this species occurs in several protected areas. Winter distribution and threats are poorly known.	Nearctic		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L.
