Dasypleurus ega
May 30 El Chorro, 800+ ft., 2 mi W Agua Caliente (Cape District) Baja Calif.
Back up the canyon. A number flew
around the pool by the dam. Shot 2 ♀, 1 ♂.
May 31 Santa Anita, 800+ ft., (Cape District), Baja Calif.
Found a number flying a dusk while
next to a long narrow water ditch with
many palms and other verdant growth
around it. There was also a dense growth
of serdan grass. The bats appeared from
the north or northwest where could have
come from palms, and flew fairly high..
Also there were Myotis velifer, pipistrelles
and a few Tadarida femorosaacca.
Shot 3 ♀. (See journal)
June 1 6 mi N San José del Cabo, 250+ ft., Baja Calif.
Found Dasypleurus flying first and fairly
numerous. At 6:50, shortly after they had
begun, saw one circle very low and flying
slowly, entered the hanging dry leaves of
a small palm of which there were several.
When I probed with a stick it flew out and I
shot it (♀). Shot 1 other ♂ flying. (See journal)
June 2 Same location
Today in the small group of palms, Dr.
Benson poked around with a stick and
scared out about a dozen (in the morning)
I shot 1 ♀. This seems conclusive evidence
of where they live at last.
