Range: The big-footed myotis inhabits the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island and is one of the most common bat species ( Won & Smith 1999; Jo et al. 2012; Fig. 25 ).

Remarks: This species was previously classified as a subspecies of M. capaccinii ( Won 1968) , but the absence of hair on the uropatagium margin near the calcar clearly distinguishes M. macrodactylus from M. capaccinii ( Corbet 1978; Yoshiyuki 1989).

Conservation status: The Red Data Book of North Korea lists M. macrodactylus as a ‘Rare’ species (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002).
