The eastern long-fingered bat, or big-footed myotis (Myotis macrodactylus) is a species of vesper bat.
Taxonomy
The eastern long-fingered bat was described as a new species in 1840 by Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck. Temminck placed it in the genus Vespertilio, with a scientific name of Vespertilio macrodactylus.[2][3] The holotype had been collected in Japan.[2]
Range and habitat
The eastern long-fingered bat is found in Russian Far East and East Asia, including China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia.[1] Within its range, the eastern long-fingered bat is strongly associated with riparian habitat, as it forages for food over rivers.[4]
