Joffre's bat, or Joffre's pipistrelle, is a vesper bat and the only member of the genus Mirostrellus, described in 2020, having formerly been placed in Hypsugo. It is found in South and Southeast Asia. Studies also found that Anthony's pipistrelle, a mysterious bat known from a single specimen collected at Changyinku, Burma, at about 2,100 m, is the same species (Wikipedia, general species account).
