Sažetak
In 2002 specimens of Eptesicus nilssonii and Vespertilio murinus were caught in mist-nets in mixed forests os spruce, fir and beech in two localities on Mt velebit. These are the first records in Croatia for 130 years for E. nilssonii, and for 68 years for V. murinus. Considernig all the available data from Croatia and neighbouring countries, we discuss the possible status of these species in the mountain area of the dinaric Alps. Although all the new findings were males caught in the migration period (August and September) which indicates the possibility of hibernation in the karstic area of the Dinaric mountains, we do not exclude the possible exsistence of resident populations.
