E-mail: csorba@nhmus.hu Abstract - Bat remains from the Mélyvölgyi-kőfülke (southern Hungary) cave in 1946 were determined as specimens of Northern Bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) and Long-fingered Myotis (Myotis capaccinii). After the revision of the remains, the Northern Bat specimen proved to be a Barbastelle, and the Long-fingered Myotis proved to be a Natterer's Bat (.Myotis nattereri). The second recent record of Northern Bat, which was found in 2000 in Szekszárd, proved to be a Savi's Pipistrelle ( Hypsugo savii). With 5 figures. Key words - Eptesicus nilssonii, Myotis capaccinii, new country records, early Holocene, faunistics. INTRODUCTION In the summer of 1946 VÉRTES and his team collected bat remains from the Mélyvölgyi-kőfülke cave in the Mecsek Mountains, southern Hungary (VÉRTES 1952). The bones were deposited in the Department of Geology and Paleontology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM), and their age was determined as early Holocene. One of the remains was determined by EHIK as a Northern Bat (Eptesicus nilssonii ) and another specimen from the collected material was identified as a Long-fingered Myotis (Myotis capaccinii). Beside the above publication of VÉRTES (1952) both species are represented by only single early Holocene records (KORDOS 1981) dated back to 5000-8000 years B.P. Annls hist.-nat.
