Remarks. — Though readily distinguishable from the other 

 European members of the genus by its cranial and dental 

 characters, Pipistrellus nathusii is superficially much like P. pipis- 

 trellus. It is usually recognizable, however, by its slightly less 

 diminutive size, more robust form, and by the constant presence 

 of an ill-defined light (though never actually whitish) border to 

 the wing.* As pointed out by Mehely in 1900 it has no very 

 near relationship to the Oriental P. abramus.

* A light border sometimes occurs in P. pipistrellus, but is rare. That 

 constantly present in P. kuhlii is more sharply defined and more truly 

 whitish than in P. nathusii.
