Plecotus austriacus

Pishkash II (location same as above), 28 September 2005, 1♂ ad. netted at the entrance of a small cave in a limestone gorge. The morphological identification of this species was confirmed by genetic analysis (A. Kiefer, pers. comm.).

(Continued) No previous record of Pl. austriacus ( Lamani 1970) has been sufficiently documented to confirm the identification of this species (Sachanowicz and Ciechanowski 2006) and exclude a similar, newly recognized species, Pl. macrobullaris ( Spitzenberger et al. 2006; Dietz et al. 2009).
