Abstract
We report the first record of the Great Himalayan leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros armiger from a cave in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. We confirmed its identity using morphometric measurements and visual observations supplemented with photographs. This report steps up the number of national bat fauna, suggesting countrywide surveys for a comprehensive inventory of bats for Bangladesh.
期刊介绍:
Mammalia is an international, multidisciplinary, bimonthly journal devoted to the inventory, analysis and interpretation of mammalian diversity. It publishes original results on all aspects of the systematics and biology of mammals with a strong focus on ecology, including biodiversity analyses, distribution habitats, diet, predator-prey relationships, competition, community analyses and conservation of mammals. The journal also accepts submissions on sub-fossil or recently extinct mammals.
