abstract

The description of the record of a bat found in the period of autumn migrations on a ship on the Black Sea is given. The bat was found on the captain's bridge, and the sailors stated that the bat landed on the ship during flight and was not brought onto the board. The location of the discovery is on a raid near Sevastopol, 9 October 2013, within 10 miles from shore. Morphological features of the specimen are as follows: forearm length is about 33.1 mm, general colouration is brown with a narrow (1–2 mm) whitish stripe along the free edge of the wing up to the hind foot. The morphology of the earlobes, tragus, rhinarium, and post calcarial lobe are typical of P. pipistrellus/pygmaeus/nathusii. The morphology of the rhinarium (without the middle bulge between the nostrils) and the genitals is similar to those in P. nathusii. The most distinctive feature of the specimen is the presence of a white edging on the wings, which is usually common for Asian P. p. bactrianus, but, to some extent, also occurs among southern P. nathusii.
