About This Book

The paper presents the formal description of a newly recognized subspecies of the eastern pipistrelle from northern Coahuila and adjacent Texas. It provides the type specimen details and precise measurements, diagnoses the taxon as larger and paler with laterally expanded zygomata, and compares it with other subspecies. Habitat notes link occurrences to tree-lined river corridors. The author lists examined specimens, repositories, field dates, and funding sources, and discusses variation and distinguishing characters that justify recognition of the subspecies.
