Koopman's Pipistrelle
Includes all "eastern" pipistrelles (abramus, ceylonica, javanica, tenuis, coromandra, paterculus, and dhofarensis) and related forms (e.g., cf. coromandra) and tentatively all Pipistrellus species in Southern and East Asia and Australasia. Includes three species groups. The "javanicus species group includes the "eastern" species noted above. The "abramus" group includes only abramus itself. The "stenoptera" group also includes the single species stenoptera. Zhukova et al. suggest that adamsi, angulata, collina, papuana, and wattsi belong to the "javanica" species group. We have not allocated westralis, endoi, minhassae, murrayi, or sturdeei into any species groups within Alionoctula.
