The Marovaza house bat (Scotophilus marovaza) is a species of bat found in Madagascar.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 2006.[2]

The holotype was collected in Marovaza, Madagascar, which inspired its species name.[1]

Description

It is relatively small for its genus.[2]

Its forearm is approximately {{cvt|43.5|mm|in}} long.[3]

Biology and ecology

It has been found roosting in the palm-leave thatching of small huts.

It roosts singly or in small colonies of up to five individuals.[1]

It navigates and locates prey via echolocation; its calls have a frequency of maximum energy of 43.8–48 kHz and a maximum frequency of 58–72.6 kHz.

Echolocation pulses last 6–8 seconds.[3]

Individuals can be infected with Leptospira.[4]

Range and habitat

The Marovaza house bat is endemic to western Madagascar.

It is currently known from lowland areas of {{cvt|5-200|m|ft}} above sea level.[1]

Conservation

As of 2017, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN.

It met the criteria for this classification because of its relatively large geographic range and its ability to tolerate some habitat destruction.[1]
