Abstract
The collection of bats of the National Museum of Natural History of Santo Domingo is described focusing on its composition and the geographic distribution of its specimens. The opportunity is taken to update its taxonomic information. A total of 723 specimens belonging to 6 families, 17 genera and 18 species, representing all of the species reported for Hispaniola, were examined. All genera but Pteronotus Gray, 1838 with two species, are monospecific. Collection dates were from 1961 to 2008, with most of the records corresponding to the southwest of the Dominican Republic. Most species were generalists for site selection, such as the phyllostomids Artibeus jamaicensis and Macrotus waterhousii as well as the molossid Molossus molossus. The presence of hot-cave species (Pteronotus parnellii, P. quadridens, and Phyllonycteris poeyi) and the rare species (Chilonatalus micropus, Lasiurus minor and Natalus major) is reported.
