The bat fauna of Bali and Nusa Penida, Lesser Sunda Islands: corrections and additions (Mammalia : Chiroptera)

Reviewed is the Chiropteran fauna of Ball Island. A previous checklist is u p-dated by recent publications and complemented by an additional collection , comprising new species records. Bat records for neighbouring Nusa Penida are included, because species collected from this island are erroneously qu oted for Ball. A total of 40 and ten species are documented for Ball and Nu sa Penida, respectively. Of 35 species on a previous checklist for Ball, fo ur should be deleted (including a Miniopterus species recorded by two diffe rent species names), ten others have been listed for Ball, but one of these erroneously, and at least two are doubtful, as no collected specimens are documented. Of the ten species on Nusa Penida, three are unrecorded from Ba ll. though often erroneously cited for this island.
