Southwestern myotis
The southwestern myotis (''Myotis auriculus'') is a species of vesper bat. It is found in Guatemala, Mexico, and in Arizona and New Mexico in the United States.〔
== Taxonomy ==
The Southwestern myotis is a member of the Chiroptera order and the Vespertilionidae family. Discovered in 1955 by Baker and Stains, the Southwestern myotis was originally believed to be a member of the ''Myotis evotis'' species. Both bats live in the same region and occupy similar niches. Later that same year Hoffmeister and Krutzsch identified the mysterious bat as ''Myotis evotis apache'', a new subspecies of the ''Myotis evotis'' species. ''Myotis evotis apache'' was changed to ''Myotis evotis auriculus'' in 1959 by Hall and Kelson. In 1960 it was determined that the Southwestern myotis (''Myotis auriculus'') was, in fact, not a member of the ''M. evotis'' species but a member of the ''M. keenii'' species. This determination was made by a scientist named Findley. It wasn’t until 1969 that ''M. auriculus'' was recognized as an independent species by scientists Genoways and Jones. ''M. auriculus'' and ''M. evotis'' exhibit different jaw shapes. Particularly in regions where both bats are present. ''M. auriculus'' has a larger and weaker jaw than ''M. evotis. M. auriculus'' also has a much larger skull than ''M. evotis.''
