Abstract

"Three species of bats are newly recorded from Guana Island, north of Tortola: Artibeus j. jamaicensis, Molossus molossus fortis, and Brachyphylla cavernarum indet. The known range of B. cavernarum is extended about 20 km northeastward in the Virgin Islands. Guana, at 297 ha and 266 m, is the smallest island in the Antilles with three species. Island elevation seems more important than area in determining bat species diversity in the Virgin Islands"--P. [1].
