Abstract
We review earlier distributional records of Mehely's horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus mehelyi, in
Iran and report new distribution records obtain during 2014–2017. Until 2012, R. mehelyi
had been recorded from 14 localities. We report ten new locality records and therefore
increasing the known range to Zagros Mts. We also report echolocation-call parameters
for 42 individuals caught in six caves which represent the first information from Iran.
