All Korean species representing the Genus Pipistrellus are classified in the Subgenus Pipistrellus . Three species of Pipistrellus have been listed as inhabiting Korea , but the presence of one of them, Pipistrellus pipistrellus ( Schreber, 1774 ) remains doubtful. Although P. pipistrellus was reported in central Korea ( Ellerman & Morrison-Scott 1951 ; Won 1958 , 1967 ), no available specimens or collection data exist; these reports possibly represent erroneous identifications ( Corbet 1978 ). Therefore, we delisted P. pipistrellus from our list of the mammals of Korea and confirm two species of Pipistrellus in Korea .
