Miniopterus schreibersii japoniae Thomas, 1905 p.338 ; Type locality- Miyazaki , Japan ; Kishida & Mori, 1931 p.379 ; Kuroda, 1938 p.104 . M. schreibersii fuliginosus : Ellerman & Morrison-Scot, 1951 p .183 ; Won, 1958 p.459 ; Won, 1967 p.348 ; Won, 1968 p.127 ; Yoon, 1992 p.56 ; Yoon, 2010 p.86 ; Jo et al ., 2012 p.252 . M. schreibersii : Won, 1968 p.127 ; Han, 1994 p.45 ; Won & Smith, 1999 p.15 ; Son, 2001 p.123 ; Yoon, 2004 p.90 ; Yoon, 2010 p.86 . Range: The distribution of this species ranges over the southern Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island ( Son 2001; Fig. 39 ). Remarks: M. fuliginosus was regarded as a subspecies of M. schreibersii and populations in Korea were considered M. schreibersii fuliginosus ( Won 1967 ) . Appleton et al. (2004) and Tian et al. (2004) split M. schreibersii into two distinct species using ND2 and cytochrome b , respectively. Therefore, M. schreibersii became assigned to Europe and M. fuliginosus earmarked for Asia ( Šrámek et al . 2013 ). The closest taxon to M. fuliginosus is M. magnate rather than M. schreibersii ( Kruskop et al . 2012 ) . Although the Subspecies M. f. chinensis occurs in extreme southern Primorye, Russia-Korean border area ( Kruskop 2012 ), the subspecific status of populations in Korea have rarely been studied. Conservation status: The Red Data Book of North Korea lists this species as ‘Rare’.
