by E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond) Hall

"North American Yellow Bats, 'Dasypterus,' and a List of the Named Kinds of the Genus Lasiurus Gray" by E. Raymond Hall and J. Knox Jones, Jr. is a scientific publication released in the early 1960s, particularly in December 1961. This work is focused on the taxonomy and species classification of yellow bats, specifically the genus Dasypterus and related taxa, underlining the identification and descriptions of various species found in North America. The text is a detailed examination of yellow bats, particularly the species under the genus Lasiurus. It provides a comprehensive overview of their taxonomy, geographic distribution, morphology, and life history. The authors discuss the various species of yellow bats such as Lasiurus ega (Southern Yellow Bat) and Lasiurus intermedius (Northern Yellow Bat), comparing their physical characteristics, habitats, and breeding patterns. The publication serves as an important resource for entomologists and biologists interested in Chiropteran zoology, particularly those studying the biodiversity and classification of bats in the Americas.
