List of kerivoulines

Kerivoulinae is one of the four subfamilies of Vespertilionidae, itself one of twenty families of bats in the mammalian order Chiroptera and part of the microbat suborder.

A member of this subfamily is called a kerivouline, or a woolly bat.

They are all insectivorous and eat a variety of insects and spiders.

[1] Almost no kerivoulines have population estimates, though two species—the St. Aignan's trumpet-eared bat and the Tanzanian woolly bat—are categorized as endangered species with population sizes as low as 600.

A few extinct prehistoric kerivouline species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed.

[2] Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species unless otherwise noted.

Kerivoulinae, one of the four subfamilies of the family Vespertilionidae, contains 30 extant species divided into 2 genera.

Subfamily Kerivoulinae The following classification is based on the taxonomy described by the reference work Mammal Species of the World (2005), with augmentation by generally accepted proposals made since using molecular phylogenetic analysis, as supported by both the IUCN and the American Society of Mammalogists.
