Asellia patrizii De Beaux, 1931

At As Saqid cave we observed a colony with over 70 individuals of Asellia patrizii at the end of the cave. Four males were netted and their echolocation calls were recorded ( Figs. 3C and 4B ). Its starting frequency ranged from 129-138 KHz (134.61±3.22), while the end frequency ranged from 108-138 KHz (121.5±12.76), maximum energy frequencies 133-139 KHZ (135.22±2.41), with duration ranged from 1.59- 10 ms (4.93±2.94) .
