Five species of fossil bats have been discovered in Cittareale cave (Rieti, Latium, Central Italy): Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Myotis (Myotis) myotis, M. (M.) bechsteini and M. (Leuconoë) dasycneme. The presence of a northern “cold” species like M. dasycneme indicates a latest Pleistocene cold phase, probably theYounger Dryas. Cittareale cave is the southernmost site of the past distribution of M. (L.) dasycneme in Europe, which at the present is found as south as northern Croatia.

Abstract

Five species of fossil bats have been discovered in Cittareale cave (Rieti, Latium, Central Italy): Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Myotis (Myotis) myotis, M. (M.) bechsteini and M. (Leuconoë) dasycneme. The presence of a northern “cold” species like M. dasycneme indicates a latest Pleistocene cold phase, probably theYounger Dryas. Cittareale cave is the southernmost site of the past distribution of M. (L.) dasycneme in Europe, which at the present is found as south as northern Croatia.
