Abstract

Abstract

Based on an examination of museum specimens, a comprehensive and critical species list of the bat specimens in the family Pterodidae has been created. Currently, 19 valid species in twelve genera of the family are known from Thailand. A total of 765 bats specimens in 16 species (nine genera) are housed in the Natural History Museum of the National Science Museum, Thailand. All are non-type specimens. Images of specimens and distribution for each species are provided
