Brown Myotis

_V[espertilio]. lucifugus_ Le Conte, McMurtrie's Cuvier,

Animal Kingdom, 1:431, June, 1831, type from Georgia,

probably from the Le Conte Plantation, near Riceboro,

Liberty County.

_Myotis lucifugus [lucifugus]_, Miller, N. Amer. Fauna,

13:59, October 16, 1897.

_Distribution in Nebraska._--Known only from the limestone

quarry in Sarpy County, but probably occurs over most of

eastern third of state.

_Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 2, as follows:

SARPY CO.: 1/2 mi. W Meadow, 2 (Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat.

Hist., 1).

_Remarks._--Two bats of this subspecies were found in the quarry in

Sarpy County on December 30, 1949. None was found on subsequent visits

to the quarry, although three other species of bats have been found

there in large numbers. These specimens appear to be the first actual

records of _M. l. lucifugus_ in the state, although Swenk (1915:854,

and in subsequent lists) reported it as "uncommon eastwardly".

One of these bats, a male (KU 35076), possesses a peculiar dental

abnormality. Both of the second upper premolars (P3) are lacking,

although the mandibular dentition is normal. This condition has been

reported previously for this species by Frum (1946:176) in specimens

from West Virginia.
