Lasionycteris noctivagans (Le Conte, 1831)

Silver-haired Bat

The distribution of L. noctivagans, although occurring throughout most of the United States and southern Canada, is not well known in the southern portion of its range (Bee et al. 1981; Caire et al. 1989; Davis and Schmidly 1994). Caire et al. (1989) reported only four specimens from four counties. Since then, records were reported for Cimarron County (Dalquest et al. 1990), McCurtain County (Sheffield and Chapman 1992), and Beaver and Oklahoma counties (Braun and Revelez 2005). New records are reported for Caddo and Le Flore counties.
