摘要:
We captured a male individual of Coelops frithii during a cave survey in the Makawanpur District of central Nepal on March 3, 2021. A colony with 15 individuals of this species was found roosting in a narrow and moist cavity of the Sarasawati cave situated in Raksirang Rural Municipality. The species was identified by its small size and characteristic funnel shaped ears with large antitragus at the base of posterior end of ear pinna and externally invisible and nodular tail. This is the first record of the genus Coelops for Nepal and western most record of the species.
