Abstract

The Alpine long-eared bat, Plecotus macrobullaris Kuzjakin, 1965 is widely distributed in west of the Palaearctic. This species is frequently recorded from west of Iran, representing the easternmost occurrence point within whole distribution range of P. macrobullaris. The distribution of the species is poorly known in eastern half of the country. In the present study, P. macrobullaris is recorded from NE of Iran (Moghan cave, Khorasan-e-Razavi province) for the first time. Moreover, the presence of the Lesser Mouse-eared Myotis, Myotis blythii (Tomes, 1857) in the cave is confirmed after 1999.
