<strong>Abstract</strong> Very little data are available on the distribution of the whiskered bat <em>Myotis mystacinus</em> in Italy. On 24 June 2002, we first recorded this species in the Campania region (Southern Italy). The bat - an adult female - was mist-netted at a water site along the Ofanto river, in the Avellino province. Details concerning the criteria adopted for species identification are provided.
