| Abstract | ZAGORODNIUK I. V. 1999. Taxonomy, biogeography and abundance of the horseshoe bats in the Eastern Europe. Acta zool. cracov., 42 (3): 407–421. The family Rhinolophidae is represented in the Eastern Europe by three rare species of Rhinolophus, namely R. ferrumequinum (RF), R. hipposideros (RH) and R. euryale (RE). Total 275 collected specimens are represented by 187 RF, 87 RH and 1 RE? (coming from the Crimea). All species have clearly distincts in body and skull measurements (forearm 52–57 mm in RF, 48 in RE, 35–40 in RH) and distinctive sound frequencies (80–85 kHz in RF and 110–115 in RF). Differences between geographic samples of each species are not significant, and most expressed in a pair of Carpathian and Crimean RH (external features) and RF (skull dimensions). Detailed description of species ranges are presented by their marginal localities, and all the questionable records are discussed. During the XX century their share in total bat samples continuously changed: decrease in RF (32.8 to 4.7 %; category "endangered") and increase in RH (1.9 to 11.2 %, category "lower risk"). |
