Fauna of Bats from the Pliocene of Węże in Poland

• Kazimierz KOWALSKI

Abstract:

The author describes the Chiropteran fossil remains collected in the Pliocene bone breccia at Węże in Poland. Eight species found at this locality are: Rhinolophus delphinensis Gaillard, R. grivensis (Depéret), Plecotus crassidens Kormos, Myotis podlesicensis Kowalski, M. cf. aemulus Heller, M. cf. exilis Heller, and M. helleri nom. nov. The author substitutes the new name, Myotis helleri nom. nov. for M. insignis Heller 1936, which is homonymous with Myotis insignis (v. Meyer 1845).
