M . bombinus : Han, 1994 p.45 ; Won & Smith, 1999 p.12 ; Jo et al . 2012 p.251 . Range: The distribution of M. bombinus ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island ( Son 2001; Fig. 24 ); it commonly inhabits volcanic caves on Jeju Island ( Jo et al . 2012 ). FIGURE 24. Range map of Myotis bombinus in Korea. Remarks: Previously, M. bombinus was considered a subspecies of M. nattereri ( Yoon 2010 ) . Based on mtDNA analysis, M. bombinus seemed more related to M. chinensis and clearly distinct from M. nattereri in Greece ( Kawai et al. 2003 ). Conservation status: The IUCN Red List registered M. bombinus as ‘Near threatened’ ( Tsytsulina 2008 ). However, populations in Korea have rarely received consideration for protection.
