Keen's Long-eared Bat, Myotis keenii, confirmed in southeast Alaska

Abstract

Myotis keenii is apparently restricted to the Pacific coastal forests of northwestern North America.The only documentation of M. keenii in Alaska has been a specimen collected in 1887, causing uncertainty about whether this species normally occurs there.We describe two new records which indicate that M. keenii may be a regular member of the Southeast Alaska fauna and we provide measurements and information on diet for this poorly documented species.
