The present study provides a record of the bat fauna captured in Guarulhos, state of São Paulo, Brazil, between February and November 2011. The capture sessions were carried out using mist nets set on trails, around and above streams and lakes, near built areas and around livestock. After a total effort of 26,208 m2.h, we recorded 17 bat species belonging to Phyllostomidae (13 species), Vespertilionidae (3) and Molossidae (1). Sturnira lilium (73 captures), Artibeus fimbriatus (69), and A. lituratus (59) were the most abundant species, corresponding to 57.8% of all captures. Some information about shelters was also commented. This paper is the first to report Molossops neglectus for Guarulhos.

AVIFAUNA OF THE SACRED SOIL OF GUARAPIRANGA (SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL): The avifauna of São Paulo, the largest Brazilian city, is one of the most studied in Brazil. However, some areas are lacking basic studies on the avifauna, including those under intense pressure from urban growth and deforestation. Here we present a list of bird species occurring in the Solo Sagrado do Guarapiranga (23°45’00”S, 46°44’00”W), an urban park in southern São Paulo. We carried out monthly bird surveys from July 2008 to June 2009, using transect method. After 250 hours of observations, we recorded 180 species, including 31 species endemics to Atlantic Forest and two species that are globally threatened. The insectivorous, omnivorous and frugivorous species were the most represented feeding guilds, with 70, 39 and 21 species, respectively. Occasional and rare species composed the community majority. The high species richness and the presence of threatened species indicate the importance of the area to the bird’s conservation in the largest Brazilian city.
