Abstract
For the first time in Spain, an Oligocene bat fauna is described from the alluvial locality of Carrascosa del Campo. Four species are present: two belong to Hipposideros (Pseudorhinolophus) another to Rhinolophus and a fourth one to Megaderma. Three new species are described: Hipposideros (Pseudorhinolophus) minor nov. sp., Hipposideros (Pseudorhinolophus) conquensis nov. sp. and Megaderma lopezae nov. sp.. Hipposideros (Ps.) minor nov. sp. is closely related to Hipposideros (Ps.) morloti ( Pictet) and Hipposideros (Ps.) conquensis nov. sp. to Hipposideros (Ps.) schlosseri ( Revilliod). Megaderma lopezae nov. sp. is the smallest species of the genus Megaderma. Rhinolophus sp. belongs to the R. hipposideros size group, and might be related to R. priscus Revilliod.
