Murray 1948 2 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.
