Taxonomy of the genus Otonycteris (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae: Plecotini) as inferred from morphological and mtDNA data
Original language description
We analysed extensive material of Otonycteris from all essential parts of its distribution range, using both morphological and molecular genetic approaches to revise taxonomic status of the genus. Morphological comparisons revealed three distinct geographically separated morphotypes in the set of examined bats; (1) in North Africa and in the western part of the Middle East, (2) in the eastern part of the Middle East and (3) in Central Asia. Molecular genetic comparisons revealed two deeply separated clades, which correspond with two groups of morphotypes, (1+2) and (3), and we therefore regard the respective populations as two separate species, O. hemprichii and O. leucophaea. Within O. hemprichii, three sublineages were found, each tentatively considered to be a separate subspecies.
