Abstract

The pond bat Myotis dasycneme was recorded for the first time in Croatia. It was found wintering together with eight other bat species in Papuk Natural Park situated between the rivers Sava and Drava in the northeastern part of Croatia. Former mentions of the occurrence of M. dasycneme in Croatia were based on doubtful observations by Mojsisovics von Mojsvár in the 19th century.
