Necklace Sprite
Arielulus torquatus
Taiwan, Taichung County, Wu-ling Farm; 1,800 m; 24°24'N, 121°18'E
Taiwan
CITES - Not Listed (2023). IUCN - Least Concern as Arielulus torquatus (2019).
Originally described as a species of Arielulus, but apparently closely related to aureocollaris and only distantly related to Arielulus s.s.; see Görföl et al. (2020). See also Haslauer (2019).

Previously treated as a synonym of Areilulus based on morphological similarity following Csorba and Lee (2006). However, molecular work suggests these two genera are not closely related; see Francis et al. (2010), Görföl et al. (2018, 2020).
