Trujillo’s house bat (Scotophilus trujilloi) is a species of vesper bat found in Kenya.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 2014.

The holotype had been collected in 1985 in Kwale County, Kenya.

The eponym for the species name "trujilloi" is Dr. Robert Trujillo.

Trujillo's work on the molecular systematics of Scotophilus bats "paved the way" for the description of this species and three others.[2]

Description

Trujillo's house bat has reddish-mahogany fur on its back and grayish-orange fur on its belly.

Its forearm length ranges from {{cvt|43.8-46.2|mm|in}}.[2]

Range and habitat

Trujillo's house bat is endemic to Kenya, where it is found in the Coast Province.

It has been documented at elevations of {{cvt|0-760|m|ft}} above sea level.[2]

Conservation

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

Its range includes at least one protected area: Shimba Hills National Reserve.

It is possibly quite tolerant of human-mediated landscape disturbance.

It is threatened by the intentional destruction of its roosts.[1]
