Subspecies recognized here almost certainly represent distinct species based on genetic and karyological grounds; however, not all populations have been tested, making it difficult to assign them to a species. West African populations mightalso represent a fourth distinct taxon based on high genetic distance and distinct karyotype from southern African populations. There is also considerable divergence between Madagascan and mainland populations, indicating that

Head-body 43-55 mm, tail 20-41 mm, ear 6-15 mm, hindfoot 5-9 mm, forearm 27-38 mm; weight 3-5-9 g. The Dusky Pipistrelle is highly variable. Pelage is dense and soft. Dorsum ranges between pale grayish brown and reddish brown to darker dark brown and nearly black pelage. Ventral pelage is cream, creamy orange, orangish red, reddish brown, or dark brown (matching a lighter version of dorsum). Naked face is dark brown, and ears are dark reddish brown, with rounded tips. Tragus is widestjust below mid-height, has rounded tip, and is nearly straight anteriorly; posterior margin is smoothly convex, with small basal lobe. Wing membrane is pale brown to blackish brown, being darker or lighter with pelage, and has no white hind border. Uropatagium is paler than wing membrane and stretches more or lessto tail tip from calcar. Baculum is curved upward near base, has two small lobesat tip, and has notch at base rather than completely splitting into two lobes.

Dusky Pipistrelles emerge from their roosts at dusk and are active for several hours after sunset, with small activity peak at dawn. Day roosts have been found in a variety of secluded places, including cracks in rock, behind loose bark of dead trees, hollow trees, under roofs, and crevices of buildings.
