description: <i>Hypsugo macrotis</i> [Temminck, 1840] <i>Vespertilio macrotis</i> Temminck, 1840: 218, pl. 54; Padang, Sumatra, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [82]. <i>Pipistrellus imbricatus</i> [23] <i>Pipistrellus macrotis</i> [209] <i>Hypsugo macrotis</i> [98]. <b>Common English name:</b> Big-eared Pipistrelle <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD. <b>Remarks:</b> <i>H</i>. <i>macrotis</i> was previously regarded as <i>Pipistrellus macrotis</i> [98]. The species was first reported from Peninsular Malaysia as <i>Pipistrellus imbricatus macrotis</i> [8] with only one locality record in the lowlands of Selangor [23]. Francis and Hill [209] later commented that the specimens recorded as <i>P</i>. <i>imbricatus macrotis</i> from Peninsular Malaysia [23] represent <i>P</i>. <i>macrotis</i> = <i>H</i>. <i>macrotis</i>. <b>IUCN status:</b> Data Deficient <b>Recorded at: Selangor</b>: lowlands of Selangor [23], Kuala Selangor [173]; <b>Negeri Sembilan:</b> Seremban [31]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]. <i>H</i>. <i>macrotis</i> has been recorded in lowland forests and coastal lagoons near mangroves [14, 23] and recently in a school located in an urbanized habitat with small secondary forest fragments [31]. It is likely that the species may have adapted to human modified habitats [31], and the lack of its recent records may be due to surveys primarily target forest habitats.
