et al. (1979) in recognizing M. k. septentrionalis. 



Myotis sodalis Miller and Allen, Indiana Myotis. This species, con- 

 sidered endangered under State and Federal regulations (Odom et al. 

 1977), is known in Georgia from only a single limestone cave in Dade 

 County. 



Myotis leibii (Audubon and Bachman), Small-footed Myotis. This 

 rare, solitary bat reaches the southeastern limit of its range in north 

 Georgia. Only three specimens from two localities in Dade and Union 

 counties are known (Baker 1965). It inhabits caves, trees, and buildings. 



Lasionycteris noctivagans (LeConte), Silver-haired Bat. This migra- 

 tory tree dweller is fairly common statewide except in the lower Coastal 

 Plain. 



Pipistrellus subflavus (Cuvier), Eastern Pipistrelle. The pipistrelle is 

 common in caves and trees statewide. Two subspecies are recognized in 

 Georgia (Hall 1981): Pipistrellus subflavus subflavus (Cuvier) is state- 

 wide except in the extreme southeastern Coastal Plain, where it is 

 replaced by P. s. floridanus (Davis). 



Eptesicus fuscus fuscus (Palisot de Beauvois), Big Brown Bat. 

 Common statewide in attics of rural and urban homes as well as in 

 outbuildings. The extreme southeastern counties may represent a region 

 of intergradation between E. f fuscus and E. f osceola Rhoads, which 

 occurs in Florida. 



Lasiurus borealis borealis (M tiller), Red Bat. A common migratory 

 bat that roosts in trees statewide. 



Lasiurus seminolus (Rhodes), Seminole Bat. Statewide, except for 

 the mountain regions, and the most common bat in the Coastal Plain. It 

 occurs most commonly in trees. 



Lasiurus cinereus cinereus (Palisot de Beauvois), Hoary Bat. A 

 large, uncommon tree dweller that is statewide during migration. 



Lasiurus intermedius floridanus (Miller), Northern Yellow Bat. In 

 Georgia, this rare tree dweller is known from less than a dozen speci- 

 mens, all from the Coastal Plain. 



Nycticeius humeralis humeralis (Rafinesque), Evening Bat. This 

 common colonial bat, statewide in occurrence, is frequently found in 

 attics of rural homes (Watkins 1972). 



Plecotus rafinesquii Lesson, Rafinesque's Big-eared Bat. Although 

 probably statewide in distribution, this bat is an uncommon inhabitant 

 of man-made shelters or hollow trees (Jones 1977). Golley (1962), Jones 

 (1977), and Hall (1981) indicated its range as statewide, but there are no 

 collection records from the entire Piedmont Plateau and only one from 

 the upper Coastal Plain (Grady County). It is apparently declining in 

 numbers in south Georgia, perhaps due to habitat manipulation (Laerm 

 et al. 1980). Two subspecies are recognized in Georgia (Jones 1977; Hall
