Summary

"Pipistrellus cinnamomeus Miller 1902 Referred to the Genus Myotis by Hall et al." by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific examination from the 20th century that focuses on a specific bat, "Pipistrellus cinnamomeus," and its scientific reclassification under the genus "Myotis." The study provides arguments and evidence for the taxonomic shift based on anatomical and morphological analyses and traces the bat's naming and initial findings. This includes a summary of its original description using only a few Mexican specimens and elaborates on later discoveries that improved scientists' knowledge of this bat. The study emphasizes key differences, such as the presence of two premolars instead of three, and argues for its reclassification as "Myotis fortidens." It then analyses its geographical distribution and physical features, and emphasizes the need for more research to fully understand how "Myotis" species relate to each other.
