Connue du Portugal (Seabra, 1911) et du sud de la France (van Bree et al,1967), la nyctale de Leisler Nyctalus leisleri n'avait ete signalee comme habitantl'Espagne (Cabrera, 1919; Siebbings, 1977) que sur la base, semble-t-il, d'une extra-polation toute la peninsule iberique des citations portugaises. Nous avons cap-ture cette espece en septembre 1983, Cuevas del Valle (Prov. d'Avila). Quatreindividus occupaient des nichoirs oiseaux dans une pinede de Pinus pinaster.Ce milieu est aussi habite par Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. kuhli, P. savii et Pleco-tus austriacus. La decouverte de Nyctalus leisleri porte 18 le nombre de Chirop-teres connus dans la Sierra Credos, et donne la premiere localisation precise del'espece en Espagne.

Voici les dimensions des 4 specimens (3 femelies et l male) mesures suivantles indications de Stebbings (1967) et Tupinier (1975):

Longueur tete -f corps : 62-65,5 ; avant-bras : 41,5-44,2; longueur de la queue:34,0-42,5 ; longueur du pied : 7,5-8,6 ; longueur condylo-basale : 15,20-15,65 ; poids :11,5 g-125 g.

Ces dimensions sont classiques pour l'espece (Saint Girons, 1973).

Des recherches zoologiques effectuees par la Societe Romaine de ScienceNaturelle (S.R.S.N.) au cours des etes 1982 et 1983 dans la chaine du Pinde ontpermis la decouverte, entre autres, de Mustela (Putorius) putorius (Carnivora,Mustelidae), espece inconnue dans cette zone.

Le 15 aoüt 1983 vers 19 heures (heure locale), un putois a ete observe, en acti-vite, pres de Fourka, Konitsa (Epire, Grece septentrionale), ä environ 1350 md'altitude. Le 18 aoüt, dans la meme zone, on a trouve des restes squelettiquesavec des lambeaux de peau d'un autre individu dont il a ete possible de recu-perer le crane ; l'etude de celui-ci a montre clairement son appartenance ä Mus-tela putorius.

Nous rapportons ci-apres les principales mesures de la piece, selon les indi-cations de Buchalczyk et Ruprecht (1977) (mesures effectuees au pied ä coulisseau 1/201' de mm):

Longueur condylo-basale: 63,2 mm ; longueur totale: 71,0 mm ; largeur zygomatique :45,5 mm; largeur ectoorbitaire : 26,0 mm; constriction interorbitraire: 19,2 mm; largeurpostorbitraire : 18,9 mm; largeur mastoi'dienne : 40,3 mm; hauteur du crane au niveaudes bulles tympaniques: 25,6 mm; longueur de la mandibule du bord antdrieur del'alveole jusqu'ä la fin du proc. articularis mandibulae: 43,5 mm; hauteur du ramusmandibulae: 21,5 mm.

Actuellement le crane est conserve dans la collection de la S.R.S.N. (n° 694).La zone de la trouvaille est une hetraie humide oü poussent aussi Fagus

moesiaca, Acer obtusatum et Acer tartaricwn. Aux environs de la meme zone il ya quelques Pinus nigra; dans les milieux limitrophes, des Pinus nigra, des Abiesborisii-regis, des prairies et des herbages et des Juniperus communis relayent lahetraie.

Mustela putorius n'est pas cite pour la Grece par Ondrias (1965) ni par Eller-man et Morrison-Scott (1966).

Additional records of bats from French Guiana

by Wm. David WEBSTER and W. Bruce MCGTLLIVRAYDepartment of Biological Sciences,

French Guiana, the largest overseas department of France (approximately94,400 km2 in area), is bordered by Suriname to the west, Brazil to the south andeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Despite the early colonization by theFrench (ca. 1616), the lack of arable land slowed agricultural development andbarely navigable rivers hindered exploitation of inland forest and mineral resour-ces. Therefore, records of bats from French Guiana are not readily available, theonly list dealing exclusively with the country was compiled by Brosset andDubost (1967). The comprehensive checklist of all South American mammals byCabrera (1958), recently updated for the Phyllostomidae by Jones and Carter(1976), includes some references to bats from French Guiana. Other anecdotalrecords are in taxonomic descriptions and systematic revisions.

One of us (WBM) collected 103 bats at Saul, French Guiana (3°37'N, 53°12'W),from 26 January to 14 February 1977. Bats were captured in mist nets in habitatsranging from mature rainforest to open areas within the village of Saul. Most netswere set at ground level along cleared trails in the forest. Two nets were positio-ned 10 m high in a secondary growth forest dominated by trees of the genusCecropia. February marks the beginning of the winter rainy season. Afternoonrainstorms were the rule throughout the collecting period although interspersedwere several clear days and many of continuous rain.

All specimens are deposited at the Museum of Natural History, University ofKansas. Two species reported herein are previously unknown from French Guiana,and other noteworthy records are included to provide representative measure-ments and reproductive condition of bats from French Guiana. All measurementsare in millimeters ; length of forearm includes the wrist, and greatest length ofskull includes the incisors.

Lionycieris spurrelli Thomas, 1913. — One pregnant female constitutes thefirst record of this Amazonian lowland species from French Guiana; it was repor-ted recently, however, from Suriname by Williams and Genoways (1980). Selectedmeasurements are : length of forearm, 36.3 ; greatest length of skull, 20.2; lengthof maxillary too throw, 6.5; mastoid breadth, 8.5.

Choeroniscus minor (Peters, 1868). — The systematic relationships of the C.minor-inca-intermedius complex are obscure, and currently are being studied byC. 0. Handley, Jr., and D. E. Wilson. Pending their revision, we follow Koopman(1978) in tentatively referring a male from from Saul to C. minor. Selected mea-

surements are : length of forearm, 35.5 ; greatest length of skull, 23.4; length ofmaxillary toothrow, 8.0; mastoid breadth, 8.3.

Rhinophylla pumilio Peters, 1865. — This common Amazonian lowland speciesis known from northern South America southward to Bolivia (Webster and Jones,1980), but has not been previously reported from French Guiana. One pregnantfemale was collected at Saul.

Artibeus fuliginosus Gray, 1838. — The taxonomy and systematic relationshipsof the large forms of Artibeus in South America east of the Andes are confused,but at least three species are involved (Anderson et αι., 1982; Anderson andWebster, 1983; Koopman, 1978; Webster and Jones, 1980). Brosset and Dubost(1967) reported one species of large Artibeus from French Guiana, whereas wecollected three. The largest of these, A. lituratus, has a prominent supraorbitalshield and conspicuous facial stripes. The other two species are relatively smalland lack the prominent shield and facial stripes; these species are distinguisha-ble by size and pelage coloration. The smaller and darker (blackish) representsA. fuliginosus (= A. jamaicensis fuliginosus of Anderson et al, 1982, and Andersonand Webster, 1983), and the larger and paler (grayish brown) of these is A. plani-rostris fallax. Four specimens (three adults and one juvenile) of A fuliginosusare the first individuals of this species to be reported by name from FrenchGuiana. The average length of forearm (extremes in parentheses) of three adultA. fuliginosus, followed by those of 12 adult A. planirostris fallax, is 62.5 (62.2-63.0) and 68.1 (64.2-71.1).

In addition, two specimens of small Artibeus, both females, were collectedat Saul; one was pregnant and the other was lactating. These represent an undes-cribed species (Artibeus sp. A of Handley, 1976) currently being investigated byC. O. Handley, Jr. Other species of bats collected at Saul and not mentionedabove are Saccopteryx b. bilineata, Glossophaga s. soricina, Lonchophylla thomasi,Carollia castanea, C. p. perspicillata, Sturnira L lilium, Uroderma b. bilobatum,Vampyrops helleri, Desmodus rotundus murinus, Molossops p. planirostris, andMolossus molossus crassicaudatus.

Four species of rodents are endemic to the mainland of the Yucatan Penin-sula (Scinrus yucatanensis, Heteromys gaumeri, Otonyctomys hatti, and Peromys-cus yucatanicus) (Jones et al, 1974). Beyond the Mexican states of Campeche,Yucatan, and Quintana Roo, the geological affinities of the peninsula extend south-ward into northern El Peten, Guatemala (north of Lake Peten-Itza), and into nor-thern Belize (north of the Mayan Mountain range and the Sibun River). AlthoughP. yucatanicus is known only in the Mexican states (Young and Jones, 1983), S.yucatanensis is recorded in the northern portions of Belize, El Peten, and Chiapasand eastern Tabasco (Musser, 1968), and O. hatti is reported from northern Belize(Peterson, 1966) and El Peten (Rick, 1965). Heteromys gaumeri was obtained fromthe vicinity of Lake Peten-Itza, El Peten (Ryan, 1960), but it remains unaccountedfrom northern Belize.

L T. Sanderson (1941) collected Heteromys in northern Belize at Grant's Worksand Kate's Lagoon, Orange Walk District, besides along the coast at Belize Cityand in Stann Creek District. These specimens were identified by Laurie (1953) asH. desmarestianus. Murie (1935) reported H. desmarestianus from the vicinity ofthe Mountain Pine Ridge, while Lainson and Strangeways-Dixon (1964) and Disney(1968) collected this species primarily from the Belize River valley and the nor-thern slope of the Mountain Pine Ridge. The specimens collected by Sandersonin Orange Walk District remain the only published record of Heteromys from thenorthern plain of Belize.

Two subadult specimens of H. gaumeri were obtained in riparian, deciduousseasonal forest along the west side of Honey Camp Lagoon, Orange Walk District.The first female was snap-trapped along a hollow, rotten palm trunk on 28 Novem-ber 1976. A second female was collected in the same general area on 8 May 1977.

Mammalia, t. 48, n° 3, 1984.



466 MAMMALIA

Ototylomys phyllotis was the only other rodent species trapped at this locality.This broadleaf forest was characterized by the occurence of Achras Capote, Bur-sera simaruba, Guazwna sp., Acacia sp., and Lonchocarpus sp. Botan (Sabal sp.)and give-and-take (Crysophila sp.) palms were present, but seemingly more abun-dant closer to the lagoon shore. The shoreline was dominated by sedge (Scleriasp.) and low calabash trees (Cresentia alata}. The forest understory was clearof dense growth.

Measurements of the two specimens are as follow : total length-268/263 ; taillength-147/142 ; hind foot-35/36 ; ear-17/17. Both of these voucher specimens weredeposited in the Division of Mammals, Field Museum of Natural History.

Heteromys gaumeri is distinguished from H. desmarestianus in having appro-ximately the posterior one-third of the soles of the hind feet haired and the pre-sence of an obvious lateral stripe of light ochraceous coloration (Genoways,1973). There is a size difference, with desmarestianus generally being the larger,but adult specimens are necessary for comparison. It is possible that gaumerimay be quite common in northern Belize since it appears to be more commonthan desmarestianus in southern Quintana Roo (Jones et al.f 1974). It would beworthwhile to re-evaluate the specimens from Grant's Works and Kate's Lagoonsince Jones et al (1974) suspected that the Yucatan specimens of desmarestianus,which Laurie (1953) identified, are actually gaumeri.

Mr. E. O. Bradley, formerly Department of Forestry, Belize, provided the necessarypermission to collect voucher specimens. The junior author acknowledges supportfrom the Department of Agriculture, Belize, while heading the Vampire Bat Educationand Control Program. We thank M. Engstrom for verifying the identification of ourspecimens.

Mote added in proof. — During a visit to the British Museum (Natural History), thejunior author was able to examine some of the Heteromys referred to above. Two ofthese specimens proved to be H. gaumeri. They are BM(NH) 52.188, a female from KatesLagoon, Orange Walk District (17°59'N, 88°28'W), collected by I.T. Sanderson, and BM(NH)64.2034, a male from Spanish Lookout, Cayo District (17°15'N, 89°00'W), collected by R.H.L.Disney. This extends the range of H. gaumeri to the Belize River valley. The coordinatesof Honey Camp Lagoon are 1S°03'N, 88°28'W.

On the presence of Tadarida teniotis in Sicily (Chiroptera)

by Bruno ZAVA and Eliodoro CATALANO

Jstitutodi Zoologia dell'Universita di Paermo, Via Archirafi 18, Italia

On the 18th June 1981, on a roof of the central building of Palermo University,was found a male Tadarida teniotis (Rafinesque, 1814). The specimen, adult, hadbeen dead several days; he dried up but otherwise in good conditions; on furtherobservation, it was found that it had a soft, thick fur, dark brown on its backand ash-grey on its stomach. Biometrical measures taken of the specimen agreewith those of Lanza (1959), except for the tail which was much larger (seetable 1). (Skull: total length 25 mm ; total breadth 13 mm; length jaw 15 mm).

Tadarida teniotis is the only European species of the Molossidae. It was des-cribed by Rafinesque (1814) on the basis of a specimen captured in Sicily andreferred to as Cephalotes teniotis. In 1832 Bonaparte describes the freetailed batby means of a splendid drawing; the naturalist notes that he had received a malespecimen from Sicily but does not specify were it was captured.

In 1843 Malherbe points out that the species is found in Sicily. Mina Palumbo,in 1868, writes that although the free-tailed bat had been found in Sicily as Bona-parte and Malherbe affirm, it has never been found by him the Madonie Moun-tains, where he does his research. He goes on to say that, according to informa-tion received, it is not rare on the South coast of Sicily.

Doderlein (1871) declares that the free-tailed bat exists in all Italy, even if anative of warmer countries. In the Fauna dltalia by Cornalia we find: «It is noteasily found in the North of Italy », and further, « Bonaparte saw one in Romeand he had got some from Sicily ». Dobson, in his monograph on free-tailed batssays that the species is present in the following countries : Switzerland, Italy, Sicilyand Greece.

468 MAMMALIA

Doderlein (1881) claimed to have captured two specimens of Tadarida tenio-tis in the surroundings of Palermo. These two females are to-day preserved inthe Bat collection in the Museum of the Zoological Institute of the University ofPalermo. The specimen is labelled « Palermo » but the actual spot were it wascaptured is not mentioned. Probably the free-tailed bats were captured in thecaves on the near-by iMonte Pellegrino; in fact all the Sicilian bats captured byDoderlein come from these caves. The specimens are prepared and mounted onwooden bases ; dust and parasites have reduced them to a pitiful stat. Measure-ments of the specimens are included in the table.

On September 15, 1878, in the sea near Pignataro-Isola di Lipari (Isole Eolie,Prov. Messina) a female specimen of Tadarida teniotis was fished up by the crewof a sailing boat. It is preserved in the Giglioli collection in the Museum of Natu-ral History in Florence. In his work, Doria (1887) mentions this specimen. In theworks of Gulino and Dal Piaz and Lanza on Italian bats, the authors affirm tothose of Doderlein and Pignataro- Lipari as being the only three captured in Sicily.

In the work by Aellen (1966), in the paragraph about the distribution inSicily of the free-tailed bat, the following authors are mentioned: Rafinesque,Bonaparte, Malherbe, Dobson, Gulino and Dal Piaz, Doria and Lanza.

Aellen, citing Gulino and Dal Piaz, marks the Madonie Mountains as a spotfor capture in the distribution map of Sicily; Mina Palumbo (1868) does notconsider the Madonie Moutains as a capture site for the free-tailed bat.

In fact, the present capture is considered the firth in Sicily. The specimento-day is preserved in the private collection of the authors. During 1982 researcheshave been made in the historical centre of Palermo, with the help of a Bat-detec-tor, to find other specimen of free-tailed bat.

The authors are grateful to ail those who have collaborated, and a specially to Mr.bario Falzone who has collected the specimen and to Miss Margaret Smith for the trans-lation of this work.
