1886.] DR. MONTICELLI ON SOUTH ITALIAN CHIROPTERA. 95 
6. PLecorus auritus, Linn. 
This Bat seems to be more common on the Adriatic than on the 
Mediterranean side of Italy. 
7. SYNOTUS BARBASTELLUS, Schreb. 
This species has been hitherto said to be found only in North 
Italy. It occurs also in South Italy. 
8. VESPERUGO (VESPERUS) SEROTINUS, Schr. 
This species is not very frequently observed, but is found 
everywhere, 
9. VESPERUGO NocruULA, Schr. 
Not common in South Italy, but not rare. Up to the present 
time it has been found only on the Adriatic side. 
10. VEspERUGO LEISLERI, Kuhl. 
A very rare speciesin Italy. There are only two specimens in the 
Museum of Florence, which were obtained in the province of Lecce. 
11. VespervuGo savu, Bp. 
This Bat is very common everywhere. 
12. VesPERUGO KUALI, Natt. 
Very common everywhere; found both in town and country. 
There are many variations in the colour and size of specimens; I 
have found some all white, and others black. These may be con- 
sidered as two distinct varieties: the former I call “ var. albicans,” 
the latter “ var. pudlatus.”’ 
13. VESPERUGO PIPISTRELLUS, Schreb. 
A species common everywhere. In some places it is met with in 
great numbers. 
14. VEsPERTILIO BLASII, Major. 
Vespertilio majori, Ninni, Fauna Venet.' 
Up to the present time a very rare species. I have seen only one 
specimen, which is in the collection of the Zoological Museum of 
Naples. 
15. VESPERTILIO MURINUs, Linn. 
Generally distributed over the whole of Southern Italy. 
16. VESPERTILIO OxYGNATHUS, Mont.? 
I have founded this new species on specimens found at Matera 
(province of Basilicata). It is very closely allied to V. murinus, 
but is at once distinguished by the ears, which are as long as the 
head, the great development of the glands of the muzzle, by the 
' «Materiali per una Fauna Veneta’: Venezia, 1878; Atti R. It, Venet.
