In Italy it is a rare species, apparently confined in the northern regions. During a survey on Tuscany bats, the authors have found an individual in the town of Prato. This finding significantly expands the Italian range of this species southward. A greater sampling effort and new records will be essential for determining the status of the parti-coloured male specimens in Italy.}, keywords = {Vespertilio murinus distribution Italy}, DOI = {http://dx.doi.org/10.14709/BarbJ.8.1.2015.02}, year = {2015}, type = {Journal Article} }
