Myotis emarginatus (Geoffroy, 1806)

Risk Level Europe: Least Concern - LC ( Temple & Terry, 2007).

Italy: Near Threatened - NT ( Rondinini et al., 2013).

The species was caught at the entrance of three natural and artificial cavities at Grotte del Bandito caves and in Vernante municipality, with a total of 54 individuals (42 males and 12 females). Grotte del Bandito has probably been a swarming site for the species, at least until 2003 ( Toffoli & Culasso, 2010). Thereafter it appears that the site was deserted by the species. In the other two underground sites single individuals were captured in 2010 and 2011 .
