Myotis velifer (J.A. Allen 1890)

Cave Myotis

The cave myotis is a year-round resident of Texas. Seasonal variations in the species’ distribution are common, but from late Spring through early Fall, the cave myotis occupies every ecological region in the state with the exception of the South Central Plains ( Ammerman et al. 2012). We report on new occurrences of this bat in two counties.
