It could be contended that the peculiar coloration of specimens from southeastern Texas, coupled with the tendency to have a large skull and small external dimensions , justifies subspecific recognition for the animals that here are termed intergrades. But, judging by the specimens now available, such subspecific recognition would tend to obscure rather than clarify the geographic variation noted.

In the following accounts, localities of occurrence in each state are listed from north to south; if two lie in the same latitude, the westernmost is listed first. Localities that are italicized are not shown on the distribution map , either because undue crowding of symbols would result or, in several cases, because we could not precisely place the localities. Length of forearm is the average of both forearms in individuals in which both forearms could be measured.

Lasiurus intermedius intermedius

Lasiurus intermedius floridanus

Lasiurus intermedius insularis, new subspecies

The skull from San Bias was found in an owl pellet .
