Four and eight species were recorded as the new locality records for Wind Cave (WC) and WCNR, respectively, with Rhinolopus arcuatus*, H. larvatus*, H. coxi*, H. ridleyi, H. galeritus*, Kerivoula pellucida, Tylonycteris robustula and T. pachypus being new records for WCNR and those marked with an asterix (*) being new records for WC.
