| Abstract: | After some geographical and climatic data about Tafilalt (southeastern Morocco), the Chiroptera of this country are listed. An eco-ethological study was undertaken in a famous cave: Kef Azigza, where are living seven species removing all year long. Various observations all over the studied area are also discussed with reference to the biogeography of bats. There, between Atlas mountains and Sahara, Palaearctic species are the most numerous, nevertheless three afro-eremic ones were found, and especially Rhinopoma microphyllum (second data for Morocco). |
