Abstract

According to morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA sequences, eight very small bats of the Pipistrellus pipistrellus complex captured at the Kuş Cenneti National Park in the Marmara Region of Turkey could be assigned to the recently discovered species Pipistrellus pygmaeus. This finding represents the first record of Pipistrellus pygmaeus in Anatolia and the second in Turkey. The species may be distributed much further along the Aegean coast of Anatolia.

Kurzfassung

Anhand morphologischer Merkmale und mitochondrialer DNA-Sequenzen konnten acht sehr kleine Fledermäuse aus dem Pipistrellus pipistrellus-Komplex, die im Kuş Cenneti-Nationalpark gefangen worden waren, als Mückenfledermäuse (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) bestimmt werden. Dies ist der erste Fund der Art in Anatolien und der zweite in der Türkei. Er lässt ein Vorkommen auch entlang der anatolischen Ägäisküste erwarten.
