Abstract
<strong>Abstract</strong> During the summer 2002-2003, mist-netting at seven cave entrances enabled a survey of cave-dwelling bats in the southern Ticino Canton (Switzerland). Overall, 36 individuals belonging to 7 species were recorded: <em>Rhinolophus errumequinum</em>, </em>Hypsugo savii</em>, <em>Plecotus austriacus</em>, <em>P. auritus</em>, <em>Myotis nattereri</em>, <em>M. daubentoni</em> and <em>M. bechsteinii</em>. On average, the percentage of positive surveys was 55.6%. The low number of trapped bats, the high preponderance of males and the low number of recaptures suggest that in the study area caves play a minor role as summer day- and/or night-roosts. <strong>Riassunto</strong> <strong>Censimento estivo dei chirotteri troglofili del Canton Ticino meridionale (Svizzera).</strong> Nel periodo estivo 2002-2003, è stato realizzato un censimento dei pipistrelli troglofili della regione meridionale del Cantone Ticino mediane l'uso di reti tipo mist-net poste all'ingresso di 7 grotte carsiche. Sono stati catturati 36 individui appartenenti a 7 diverse specie: <em>Rhinolophus ferrumequinum</em>, <em>Hypsugo savii</em>, <em>Plecotus austriacus</em>, <em>P. auritus</em>, <em>Myotis nattereri</em>, <em>M. daubentoni</em> e <em>M. bechsteinii</em>. In media, la percentuale di positività dei rilevamenti è stata pari al 55.6%. In considerazione del modesto numero di animali catturati, della netta predominanza dei maschi e del basso numero di ricatture, nell’area di studio le grotte sembrano rivestire un ruolo secondario come rifugi estivi diurni e/o temporanei notturni.
