Lasiurus seminolus (Seminole bat)

Synonyms: Atalapha borealis seminola (homotypic); Atalpha borealis seminola

Wikipedia Abstract

The Seminole bat (Lasiurus seminolus) is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. A common feature of the family Vespertilionidae is a tail that is located completely within the uropatagium (the membrane located between the hind limbs in bats). In Seminole bats, and other members of the Lasiurus genus, the upper surface of this membrane is covered in fur. These bats were once thought to be the same species as the red bat (Lasiurus borealis), but are now considered a distinct species.
