Morphometrics and ecology of Myotis cf. punicus (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) in Corsica

Keywords: Myotis cf. punicus, Chiroptera, Corsica, Habitat, diet, morphometrics

The presence of the Maghrebian bat, Myotis cf. punicus Felten, 1977, is reported from Corsica where it is found in low numbers throughout the island, at altitudes between 0 and 1480 m. Most of winter roosts and all breeding colonies are recorded at the lowest altitudes in bridges, caves, mines and buildings. Maghrebian bats forage in open habitats and prey up on Orthoptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera (caterpillars). The conservation status is discussed.
