A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico

"A New Bat (Genus Myotis) From Mexico" by Walter W. Dalquest and E. Raymond Hall is a mid-20th century scientific report centered on the unearthing and categorization of a novel bat, "Myotis argentatus," located in Mexico. The book describes the find, recalling how Dalquest obtained pair of bat examples from ancient dead tree close to the Rio Coatzacoalcos. It presents the special physical traits of the newly recognized species as contrasted with other bats in the "Myotis" group, accenting changes in skull design, body dimensions and fur colour. The work includes an detailed difference with "Myotis albescens", exploring morphological characteristic that make them different. Ultimately, this scientific work adds to the comprehension of bat ecological variety in Mexico and provides vital taxonomic data for later work in the field of chiropterology.
