The Angolan long-eared bat (Laephotis angolensis) is a species of vesper bat in the Vespertilionidae family. It can be found in moist savannainAngola and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Taxonomy and etymology[edit]

It was described as a new species in 1935 by Albert Monard. In papers published in 1953 and 1971, the Angolan long-eared bat was treated as a subspeciesofDe Winton's long-eared bat. However, it is generally treated as a full species at present.[2] It has been suggested that it may be synonymous with Botswanan long-eared bat.[1][2] Its species name "angolensis" is Latin for "Angolan," likely in reference to the fact that the holotype was encountered near Dala, Angola.[2]

Description[edit]

Its dental formulais2.1.1.33.1.2.3 for a total of 32 teeth. The fur of its back is yellowish- or reddish-brown. Ventral fur is pale gray or cream in color.[2]

Range and habitat[edit]

It has only been documented in the Central Zambezian miombo woodlands.[2] Its range includes Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]

Conservation[edit]

It is considered a locally rare species.[2] As of 2008, it is assessed as a data deficient species by the IUCN.[1]
