Thirty nine species of bats were captured in the study, of which 27 are phyllostomids, 5 vespertilionids, 4 emballonurids, 2 molossids, and 1 noctilionid. 66% of the species were encountered at altitudes below 500 metres, only 23% were captured above 2000 metres. Two species,Artibeus lituratusandA. cinereus, were captured in habitats up to 3000 metres elevation. Of the bats captured, 19 were frugivorous species, 12 were insectivores, 4 nectarivorous‐polinivorous, 2 polinivores and one each fish eating and blood sucking. Time of stay and movement of congeners are noted for each of the altitudinal belts studied.
