| Description | On 21 April 2011, an adult male of Schreiber's bat (Miniopterus schreibersii) was caught at the Hranická Chasm (49 31 55N 17 45 2E, 315 m a. s. l.), Hranice na Moravě, Přerov District, from a crevice of the chasm wall above a pond. This record represents the first evidence of this bat species as well as a new family (Miniopteridae) in the Czech Republic. It documents the affinity of marginal populations of the species to warmer cave systems. |
