Miniopterus pallidus
Miniopterus pallidus, the pale bent-wing bat, is a species of bat found in Middle-East. Until 2010, it was considered as a sub-species of M. schreibersii. Range and habitat

The species was clearly identified in Turkey, but Miniopterus schreibersii pallidus was also recorded in others countries in the Middle East, Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. So far, the species was only recorded in caves, but it is possible that different type of underground roosts are used by this species during the year, as for Miniopterus schreibersii. Conservation
This species is listed in the Berne Convention and is specifically targeted by the UNEP-EUROBATS convention. References
