. Dorsal pelage is dark brown; ventral pelage is buffy grayish brown. Muzzle, ears, and forearms are generally brown to light brown; wing membranes and uropatagium are dark brown. Ears are broadly triangular, with less rounded tips than in the Forest Pipistrelle; tragus is less than one-half the ear height, with small basal lobe and less convex posterior side than in the Forest Pipistrelle. Uropatagium stretches nearly to end oftail (only extreme tip free), and postcalcarial lobe is elongated. Glans penis is slightly flared, with central circular depression at tip that has many small fleshy spines. Baculum is shorter than in the Forest Pipistrelle, with wider base, and shaft is straight, with bifurcated tip (for 10% of its length rather than 30% in the Forest Pipistrelle). Skull is small and fragile; sagittal crest is absent; lambdoidal crest is weak; zygomatic arches are weak; I” is bicuspid, and I is unicuspid and subequal in height to second cusp of I?; P* is slightly outside tooth row but well developed; and lower molars are nyctalodont.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Northern Pipistrelle is common in suitable habitats, although its habitats are relatively limited. It does not seem to face many threats currently, but destruction of mangrove habitat might be a future threat.
