The New York Pygmy Bat 



Pipistrrllus suhflai'us ohscurus 



The New York pygmy bat, while represented in 

 our fauna, is evidently not abundant. It is about the 

 same size as the Georgia pygmy bat, but it differs 

 somewhat from the latter in coloration, being of a dull 

 brownish color and having the blacked tipped hairs on 

 the dorsal surface less conspicuous. Both of the pygmy 

 bats have eighteen teeth in the lower jaw and sixteen 

 in the upper jaw. 



The Georgia Pygmy Bat 



Pipistrellus suhflwuits subflavus 



The Georgia Pygmy Bat is not generally distrib- 

 uted over the State but is more abundant in the low 

 lying areas of the southeastern and southwestern coun- 

 ties. 



This species measures slightly less than three and 

 one-half inches in total length and its general color 

 tone is yellowish with many hairs on the dorsal surface 

 tipped with brown or black. On account of its size, it 

 is apt to be confused with the New York pygmy bat, 

 but the latter is much duller in color and less yellowish. 

 The tipped dorsal hairs are also much more conspicu- 

 ous in the Georgia species. Although recorded from 

 both the southeastern and southwestern sections, it is 

 probably not very common inasmuch as these sections 

 represent the northerly limits of its range. 



The Hoary Bat

The hoary bat is not abundant in Pennsylvania, 

 but it has been reported from every section of the State. 

 The shape of this species is similar to that of the X.^^!r?r-}r-^
