Abstract Despite the lesser preservation of bat fossils compared to karstic sites, fluviolacustrine deposits are of crucial importance for assessing the local palaeodiversity of bats. This was confirmed by three faunas from the upper Miocene of Slovakia (Borský Svätý Jur, MN9; Studienka A, MN9; Krásno, MN11), which comprise seven species— Miostrellus cf. Miostrellus noctuloides (Lartet, 1851), Myotis cf. Myotis murinoides (Lartet, 1851), ‘ Otonycteris ’ sp. indet., Miniopterus sp. indet., Vesper
