Recent records of bats (Chiroptera) from Cambodia

Twelve bat species have been collected recently from Cambodia, the majority from the Cardamom Mountains. Ten of these represent the first authenticated records for the country, namely: Megaerops niphanae, Rhinolophus luctus, Myotis annectans, Tylonycteris pachypus, T. robustula, Pipistrellus coromandra, Arielulus circumdatus, Hesperoptenus tickelli, H. blanfordi and Scotophilus heathii. They increase the number of bat species positively identified from Cambodia to forty. Measurements, taxonomic notes and distribution data within Cambodia are included for each of the twelve species.
