E. nilssonii parvus : Ellerman & Morrison-Scott, 1951 p.155 ; Won, 1958 p.457 ; Won, 1967 p.336 ; Won, 1968 p.120 ; Corbet, 1978 p.57 (doubtful); Yoshiyuki, 1989 p.168 ; Yoon, 1992 p.48 ; Yoon, 2010 p.65 . Range: The distribution of E. nilssonii ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula, but the species remains rare in southern Korea ( Han et al. 2011 ; Fig. 35 ). The northern bat was first recorded in Lanam, Hamgyeongbuk Province and observed in the area surrounding Seoul and Gyeonggi Province ( Won 1967 ; Son 2001 ; Kim et al . 2015 ). Remarks: Only the Subspecies Eptesicus nilssonii parvus Kishida, 1932 was recognized for Korea ( Won 1968 ; Yoon 2010 ). Although Hanák and Horáćek (1986) regarded this subspecies as an erroneous identification of Pipistrellus savii , Yoshiyuki (1989) classified E . nilssonii from Sakhalin and Hokkaido to E . n . parvus .
