Records of occurrence.—Specimen examined, 1, as follows: Lancaster Co.: Lincoln, 1 (Univ. Nebr. State Mus.).
Additional record (Zimmer, 1913:665): Lancaster Co.: Lincoln.
Remarks.—The Mexican free-tailed bat is probably rare in Nebraska. The single specimen examined by us was obtained on June 27, 1931, from a downtown business building in Lincoln. According to the label on the specimen, it died in captivity on June 29 after giving birth to one young on June 28. The bat reported by Zimmer (loc. cit.) was also taken in the business district of Lincoln. It was obtained on August 15, 1913.
In addition to the bats named above, six other kinds possibly occur in Nebraska. These, along with an indication of the part of the state in which each is to be looked for, are as follows:
- Myotis grisescens Howell, southeastern part of state.
- Myotis sodalis Miller and Allen, southeastern part of state.
- Myotis thysanodes thysanodes Miller, northwestern part of state.
- Nycticeus humeralis humeralis (Rafinesque), southeastern part of state.
- Corynorhinus rafinesquii pallescens (Miller), northwestern part of state.
- Tadarida molossa (Pallas), any part of state.
