Myotis keenii septentrionalis, Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:105, May 25, 1928.
Distribution in Nebraska.—Known from limestone quarries in Cass and Sarpy counties. Probably in other parts of extreme eastern Nebraska.
Records of occurrence.—Specimens examined, 35, as follows: Cass Co.: 1 mi. NE Louisville, 4. Sarpy Co.: 1/2 mi. W Meadow, 31 (some of these specimens have been deposited in other collections as follows: Private Collection of P. H. Krutzsch, 3; Private Collection of W. G. Frum, 2; Nebr. Game, Forestation and Parks Comm., 1; Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist., 2; Univ. Nebr. State Mus., 7).
Remarks.—Although not so common as Pipistrellus in the limestone quarries, hibernating bats of this species frequently are found there, usually as solitary individuals either in drill holes or clinging to the walls of the quarries; occasionally, however, two or three bats have been found together in a single drill hole.
Myotis lucifugus carissima Thomas
Brown Myotis
Myotis (Leuconoe) carissima Thomas, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., (ser. 7), 13:383, May, 1904, type from Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
Myotis lucifugus carissima, Cary, N. Amer. Fauna, 42:43, October 3, 1917.
Distribution in Nebraska.—Known from a single record in extreme northwestern Nebraska, but probably occurs throughout Panhandle of state.
Record of occurrence.—Specimen examined, 1, as follows: Sioux Co.: Agate, 1 (Univ. Mich. Mus. Zool.).
Myotis lucifugus lucifugus (Le Conte)
Brown Myotis
V[espertilio]. lucifugus Le Conte, McMurtrie's Cuvier, Animal Kingdom, 1:431, June, 1831, type from Georgia, probably from the Le Conte Plantation, near Riceboro, Liberty County.
Myotis lucifugus [lucifugus], Miller, N. Amer. Fauna, 13:59, October 16, 1897.
Distribution in Nebraska.—Known only from the limestone quarry in Sarpy County, but probably occurs over most of eastern third of state.
Records of occurrence.—Specimens examined, 2, as follows: Sarpy Co.: 1/2 mi. W Meadow, 2 (Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist., 1).
Remarks.—Two bats of this subspecies were found in the quarry in Sarpy County on December 30, 1949. None was found on subsequent visits to the quarry, although three other species of bats have been found there in large numbers. These specimens appear to be the first actual records of M. l. lucifugus in the state, although Swenk (1915:854, and in subsequent lists) reported it as "uncommon eastwardly".
One of these bats, a male (KU 35076), possesses a peculiar dental abnormality. Both of the second upper premolars (P3) are lacking, although the mandibular dentition is normal. This condition has been reported previously for this species by Frum (1946:176) in specimens from West Virginia.
Myotis subulatus subulatus (Say)
Small-footed Myotis
Vespertilio subulatus Say, Long's Exped. to Rocky Mts., 2:65 (footnote), 1823, type from the Arkansas River near La Junta, Otero Co., Colorado.
