Almost no myotines have population estimates, though seven species—the Atacama myotis, eastern small-footed myotis, Findley's myotis, flat-headed myotis, frosted myotis, little brown bat, and peninsular myotis—are categorized as endangered species, and two species—the Nimba myotis and Yanbaru whiskered bat—are categorized as critically ...
Western small-footed bats are relatively small bats, having a total length of 8 to 10 cm (3.1 to 3.9 in), and a wingspan of about 24 cm (9.4 in). They weigh just 4 to 5 g (0.14 to 0.18 oz), with females being larger than males. Their fur is yellowish-brown in color, with paler, sometimes white, underparts.
