Myotis bombinus Thomas, 1906 —Far Eastern Myotis Myotis nattereri bombinus Thomas, 1905 [1906] p.337; Type locality- Miyazaki, Japan; Yoon, 1992 p.37; Yoon, 2010 p.44.

M . bombinus : Han, 1994 p.45; Won & Smith, 1999 p.12; Jo et al . 2012 p.251. Range: The distribution of M. bombinus ranges throughout the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island (Son 2001; Fig. 24); it commonly inhabits volcanic caves on Jeju Island (Jo et al . 2012). Remarks: Previously, M. bombinus was considered a subspecies of M. nattereri (Yoon 2010). Based on mtDNA analysis, M. bombinus seemed more related to M. chinensis and clearly distinct from M. nattereri in Greece (Kawai et al. 2003). Conservation status: The IUCN Red List registered M. bombinus as ‘Near threatened’ (Tsytsulina 2008). However, populations in Korea have rarely received consideration for protection.
