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. _Myotis subulatus_, Warren, The Mammals of Colorado, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1910. p. 275. _Distribution in Nebraska._--Northern and western Nebraska. _Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 9, as follows: CHERRY CO.: Valentine, 1 (Univ. Nebr. Dept. Zool.). SHERIDAN CO.: Rushville, 1; 15 mi. N Rushville, 2. SIOUX CO.: Agate, 1 (Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist.); Monroe Canyon, 5-1/2 mi. N, 2-1/2 mi. W Harrison, 2 (Nebr. Game, Forestation and Parks Comm.); Warbonnet Canyon, 2 (Univ. Nebr. State Mus.). Additional records: DAKOTA CO.: Crystal Lake, 1 (Stephens, 1945:92). DAWES CO.: Chadron, 1 (Miller and Allen, 1928:169). SIOUX CO.: Antelope Township, 1 (Quay, 1948:181); Sugarloaf Township, 1 (Quay, 1948:181). _Remarks._--This bat is common along the Niobrara River in the northwestern part of the state. Stephens (_loc. cit._) reports taking a bat of this species in Dakota County in the northeastern corner of Nebraska. This specimen was
