Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758 —Particolored Bat

Ƒespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758 p.32 ; Type locality- Uppsala, Sweden; Han, 1994 p.45; Won & Smith, 1999 p.14; Son, 2001 p.118; Yoon, 2004 p.77.

Ƒ. murinus murinus: Kuroda, 1938 p.101 ; Won, 1958 p.458; Won, 1967 p.342; Won, 1968 p.125; Yoon, 1992 p.46.

Range: A few records of V. murinus occur in the extreme northern Korean Peninsula ( Kim et al. 2015), but no record exists in South Korea ( Won & Smith 1999; Fig. 33 ).

Remarks: Populations in Korea were classified as the Subspecies V. m. murinus ( Won 1968) . Eastern populations were subsumed as V. m. ussuriensis with populations in northeastern China and Siberia ( Wilson 2008). Kruskop et al. (2012) found that V. murinus had genetic uniformity (<1% cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 divergence) across the Palearctic distribution.
