Range:
Murina hilgendorfi
ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula and
Jeju
Island (
Won 1968
;
Son 2001
;
Jo
et al.
2012
;
Fig. 19
). Hilgendorf’s tube-nosed bat is considered widespread but naturally rare (
Won & Smith 1999
).
Remarks:
Murina hilgendorfi
was previously listed as a subspecies of
M. leucogaster
(
Corbet 1978
)
.
Yoshiyuki (1989)
elevated
M. hilgendorfi
to a species based on morphology, and
Kruskop
et al
. (2012)
confirmed its status through genetic data. Three subspecies,
M. l.
hilgendorfi
, M. l.
ognevi
, or
M. l.
intermedia
,
have been assigned to Korean populations, but their subspecific status in
Korea
is unclear. In fact, North and South Korean populations have been considered as a single subspecies (
Yoon 2010
).
Conservation status:
The Red Data Book of
North Korea
classified this species as ‘Rare’ (MAB
National Committee of DPR
Korea
2002
), but the Red Data Book of
South Korea
registered Hilgendorf’s tube-nosed bat as ‘Least Concern’ (NIBR 2012).
