description · Plazi

Locality records and ecological notes: Himachal Pradesh : Barog tunnel ( 1560 m ), Happy valley near Solan town ( 1550 m ), Kot Beja ( 1100 m ) and Devthal ( 963 m ) in Solan district ( Saikia et al. 2011 ; present study). Uttarakhand : Kaladhungi ( 400 m ) and Bilaspur ( 1380 m ) near Bhim Tal in Naini Tal district; Maldevta ( 850 m ), Landour ( 2000 m ), and Benog WLS ( 1755 m ) in Dehradun district, Devalsari ( 1700 m ) and Dhanaulti ( 2100 m ) in Tehri–Garhwal district, ( Bhat 1974 ; Bates & Harriosn 1997; Chakravarty et al . 2020 ). Three males were caught (two were released upon measuring) from inside an ancient gold mine of about 13 m length and about 1 m in diameter on the bank of a river. They were roosting in three groups of 3–20 individuals sharing space with some Hi. armiger . They had FM–CF–FM structure, and the peak frequency (FmaxE) recorded from our Himachal individuals ranged between 79 and 81 kHz. This was lower than those previously recorded in Uttarakhand i.e., 88 kHz ( Chakravarty et al. 2020 ) suggesting geographical variations which is common in rhinolophid bats ( Sun et al. 2013 ).
