Abstract:

During August of 1967, two adult female spotted bats (Euderma maculatum) were mist-netted at Big Bend National Park, Texas. These are the first Texas specimens and represent a southeasterly range extension of 324 miles (520 km). The conditions encountered at this site indicate that Euderma is a cliff-roosting species and not tree-dwelling. Additional life history observations are noted.
