Pipistrellus 

a genus of bats of the suborder Microchiroptera. The body is 3.5–10 cm long. There are approximately 40 species of pipistrelles, distributed in the tropical and temperate latitudes of Eurasia, as well as in North America, Madagascar, Australia, and New Guinea. Five species are found in the USSR, including Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. nathusi, and P. kü hli. P. pipistrellus, which weighs 3–6 g, is distributed in the southern and, partly, the central zone of the USSR; it lives in man-made structures and is rarely encountered in natural shelters. P. nathusi is found predominantly in the central part of the European USSR, and P. kü hli is distributed in the Crimea, Transcaucasia, and Turkmenia. Pipistrelles appear at nightfall for feeding; they feed on small insects.
