discussion
Remarks: The species was formerly classified as a subspecies of P. javanicus (Won & Smith 1999) but was elevated to the species, P. abramus (Simmons 2005). Conservation status: Japanese pipistrelles were once common in Korea, but populations substantially decreased since concrete houses became standard. The governments of Jeollanam Province and Gyeonggi Province designated this species as protected.
distribution
Range: The distribution of P. abramus extends throughout Korea, including Jeju Island (Won & Smith 1999; Jo et al. 2012; Fig. 37).
