Abstract

The chiropteran or bat fauna is the first group of the mammalian fauna of the Yemen Arab Republic to be considered. Four types of bats are recorded from Yemen Arab Republic; two of them identified to subspecies, Tadarida pumita pumita and Scotophilus leucogaster leucogaster; one identified to species, Tadarida aegyptiaca; and one to genus, Pipistrellus. The present additional records of bats from Yemen Arab Republic bring the total number of Yemen Arab Republic bats to seven species. © 1991, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
