    HUNGARY and SLOVAKIA SMALL MAMMAL TOUR - The Bats and Rodents of Central Europe Hangarian hay meadow in warm August sunshine. Steve Morgan ([email protected]), John Smart 25/8/17 HUNGARY and SLOVAKIA SMALL MAMMAL TOUR 1 Introduction I had long intended to visit Hungary for bats and small mammals but had never quite got round to it. Now, however, a chance presented itself to join a tour with both Hungary and Slovakia on the itinerary and a long list of prospective mammalian targets on offer, including Forest Dormouse, European Hamster, Lesser Mole Rat, Common Souslik and a number of highly desirable bats such as Grey Long-eared, Northern and Parti-coloured. The tour was organised by Ecotours of Hungary and led by Istvan Bartol. It ran from 9/8/17 to 17/8/17, the two particpants being John Smart and me, both of us from the UK. 2 Logistics I flew from Luton to Budapest on Wizzair. Frankly, I’d never heard of Wizzair before and, given their two hour delay on the outward leg (resulting in an extremely late check in to my hotel in Budapest), I’m not sure I want to hear about them again! The hotels selected by Ecotours were all very good. In Mezokovesd we stayed at the Hajnal Hotel which was clean and comfortable and offered a good (cooked) buffet breakfast. In Slovakia we stayed at the equally good Penzion Reva which was set in very nice countryside overlooking a picturesque lake. Istvan Bartol led the tour and did all the driving.

The collections thus obtained contain several species of bats, of which, fo~rteen, namely, Rousettus leschenaulti leschenaulti (Desmarest), Cynopterus braehyotis MUller, Sphaerias blanfordi (Thomas), Eonycteris spelaea (Dobson), Rhinolophus pearsoni Horsfield, Rhinolophus roux; roux; Temminck, Myotis formosus formosus (Hodgson), Myotis montivagus montivagus (Dobson), Myotia muricola (Gray), Eptesicus pachyotis (Dobson), Pipistrellus circumdatus (Temminck), Seotozous dormeri Dobson, Muirna tubinaris (Scully), Murina eyelotis eyelotis Dobson were found to be unrecorded from that state (Blanford 1891, Ellerman and Morrison­ Scott 1966, Lekagul and McNeely 1977, Corbet and Hill 1992, Agrawal et al. 1992, Wilson and Reeder 1993, Das et al. 1995, Mandai et al. 1998, Sinha, Y.

Based on published information and study of museum specimens, an upto date checklist of the bat fauna of India including 127 species in 40 genera is being provided. Additionaly, new distribution localities for Indian bat species recorded after Bates and Harrison, 1997 is also provided. Since the systematic status of many species occurring in the country is unclear, it is proposed that an integrative taxonomic approach may be employed to accurately quantify the bat diversity of India.
