Abstract

On 21 April 2011, an adult male of the Schreibers' bat (Miniopterus schreibersii) was caught in the Hranická propast (Hranická Chasm, 49° 32' N, 17° 45' E, 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 in the Czech Republic. It documents the affinity of marginal populations of the species to warmer cave systems.
