Pipistrellus endoi

Pipistrellus endoi
Imaizumi, 1959 p.363
;
Type
locality-
Iwate
,
Japan
;
Son, 2001 p.108
.
Range:
Son (2001)
collected one specimen near Masan,
Gyeongsangnam Province
in 1986.
Remarks:
Since the first collection at the southeastern tip of
Korea
, near
Japan
(
Son 2001
), no other specimen of
P. endoi
has been collected in
Korea
. Therefore, without other specimens acquired in almost 30 years, we consider the species a vagrant.
Pipistrellus endoi
has been considered as an endemic bat in
Japan
(
Kawai 2009a
).
Conservation status:
Pipistrellus endoi
was listed ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List (
Maeda 2008
).
