First record of disk-footed bat Eudiscopus denticulus (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) from China and resolution of phylogenetic position of the genus

Conisbee (1953) noted, however, that the name Discopus was preoccupied and proposed Eudiscopus as a replacement name. [...]today, only a limited number of specimens have been found in Southeast Asia and the biological information available on the species is limited (Wilson & Mittermeier, 2019)....

Summary:Conisbee (1953) noted, however, that the name Discopus was preoccupied and proposed Eudiscopus as a replacement name. [...]today, only a limited number of specimens have been found in Southeast Asia and the biological information available on the species is limited (Wilson & Mittermeier, 2019). Detailed information and measurements of all specimens used in this study are listed in Table 1 and Supplementary Appendix I. To illustrate potential geographic variation, principal component analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation and t-test were performed. According to the integrity of our data, 10 craniodental measurements were selected in the PCA. The geographic differences in morphological measurements were mirrored in the acoustic signals, as our samples emitted lower frequency echolocation calls (e.g., highest frequency (HF), lowest frequency (LF), and frequency with most energy (FMAX)) than those from Vietnam (Zsebok et al., 2014) (Table 1).
