Eptesicus platyops: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN 2003 IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Subgenus Eptesicus. Considered a subspecies of serotinus by Ibáñez and Valverde (1985), but no comparison with bottae was made. Also see Hayman and Hill (1971), who treated platyops as a distinct species based on morphological differences
