Abstract
In March, 2001, four bat species new to the fauna of Myanmar were collected in a limestone karst area of Mon State, south-east Myanmar, namely Craseon ycteris thonglongyai, Rhinolophus marshalli, Myotis chinensis, and Myotis h orsfieldii. Prior to this, C. thonglongyai was known only from Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand. The new records increase the number of bat f amilies for Myanmar to ten and the number of species to 92. The distributio n pattern of C. thonglongyai in Myanmar and Thailand is discussed.
