(western mastiff bat).
— A specimen ( TTU 82476 ) was obtained at Llano Tank ( Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). Collected along with this specimen were Parastrellus hesperus (American pipistrelle), Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bat), Antrozous pallidus (pallid bat), Tadarida brasiliensis (Brazilian free-tailed bat), and Nyctinomops macrotis (big free-tailed bat). Yancey (1997) did not capture this species, but reported three specimens from Arroyo Segundo in the collection of mammals at Sul Ross State University.
Incidentally, a young animal of this species was obtained (TTU 108164) at nearby Fort Leaton (located four miles SE of Presidio, Presidio County, Texas ). Apparently the bat entered a small room from which it could not extricate itself. The E. perotis was found on the upper part of a table leg in the center of the room.
