227. Mirostrellus joffrei Thomas, 1915

Common name: Joffre ’ s Pipistrelle

Myanmar name:

Distribution: India, Nepal, Vietnam and Northern Myanmar (recorded in Kachin Hills and West of Kindat, Sagaing Region).

Remarks: This species was originally described in Nyctalus due to its long and slender wings, but subsequently transferred to Pipistrellus , and most recently to Hypsugo , on the basis of morphology. Anthony ’ s Pipistrelle Hypsugo anthonyi is apparently morphologically like M. jo ff rei but with a paler pelage; however, Bates et al. (2005) suggested that anthonyi may prove to be conspecific with jo ff rei. Görföl et al. (2020) change the genus of jo ff rei to Mirostrellus .
