Pipistrellus endoi Imaizumi, 1959 —Endo’s Pipistrelle Pipistrellus endoi Imaizumi, 1959 p.363; Type locality- Iwate, Japan; Son, 2001 p.108. Range: Son (2001) collected one specimen near Masan, Gyeongsangnam Province in 1986. Remarks: Since the first collection at the southeastern tip of Korea, near Japan (Son 2001), no other specimen of P. endoi has been collected in Korea. Therefore, without other specimens acquired in almost 30 years, we consider the species a vagrant. Pipistrellus endoi has been considered as an endemic bat in Japan (Kawai 2009a). Conservation status: Pipistrellus endoi was listed ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List (Maeda 2008).
