Abstract:This is the first report on the molecular identification and phylogeny of Rousettus leschenaultii, Rhinolophus rouxii, Hipposideros speoris, Hipposideros lankadiva, Miniopterus fuliginosus bat species in Sri Lanka, inferred from mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b gene sequences. Wellawaya Wavulgalge cave in Sri Lanka is one of the largest sympatric colonies found on the island, occupied by five species of bats.
