The common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) is a small pipistrelle microbat whose very large range extends across most of Europe, North Africa, South Asia, and may extend into Korea. [2] It is one of the most common bat species in the British Isles. In Europe, the northernmost confirmed records are from southern Finland near 60°N. [3]
Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the vespertilionine's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted.
Its description was the result of a taxonomic split of the common pipistrelle. The holotype was collected in Cyrenaica, which is in eastern Libya. The eponym for the species name "hanaki" is Czech Republic scientist Vladimír Hanák, for his significant contribution "to the knowledge of the Palaearctic bat fauna". Hanák was also the first to ...

Kuhl's pipistrelle was first named in 1817, under the name Vespertilio kuhlii, in a work by Heinrich Kuhl entitled Die deutschen Fledermäuse ("The bats of Germany"). [2] The specific epithet was chosen by Johann Natterer, who had collected the first specimens, and commemorates Kuhl; under the rules of the ICZN, however, Kuhl himself is regarded as the authority, as the first to report the name.
Its taxonomic status has since been debated: various authors have considered it a full species or a subspecies of the Indian pipistrelle (P. coromandra) or the common pipistrelle (P. pipistrellus). [4] Its status remains in dispute as of 2023, and it is considered invalid by the Integrated Taxonomic Information System. [5]
Pipistrellus raceyi, also known as Racey's pipistrelle, is a bat from Madagascar, in the genus Pipistrellus. Although unidentified species of Pipistrellus had been previously reported from Madagascar since the 1990s, P. raceyi was not formally named until 2006.
