Description
The long-toothed pipistrelle is considered a medium-sized member of the genus Hypsugo, with a forearm length of 35.2–38.4 mm (1.39–1.51 in). It has short ears that are rounded at the tips. The tragus is short with a squared tip. The skin of its wing membranes is nearly black, as are other areas of exposed skin, including its ears and snout. It has a large and robust skull with a long, narrow snout. The angle of the slope from snout to braincase increases constantly, with no depression between the two. Its upper canines are long and slender.
Range & habitat
As of 2014, the long-toothed pipistrelle is known only from Southeast Asian countries of Laos and southern Vietnam. It has been encountered near rivers surrounded by lowland rainforest. Its range includes at least one protected area: Cát Tiên National Park.
