- Аннотация: Dhati-Welel National Park is a newly organized and require investigation even on the basic level. The park is situated on the very west of Oromia, close to the border of South Sudan, and it can be supposed that its fauna should demonstrate more affinities with that of Sudan rather than of Ethiopian Plateau. Brief faunal study focused on mammals and birds was carried out in February, 2014, by the Ethio-Russian Biological Expedition by the request from the Oromia Forest and Wildlife Enterprise. Bat survey covered different types of biotopes though not in equal proportion due the lack of time and reasons of security. Bat individuals representing up to 17 species from seven families were captured and examined in hands. The most remarkable records include Rhinolophus hildebrandtii (first record in Ethiopia north from the Rift Valley), Myotis tricolor and Laephotis wintoni (both species are found in more then 250 kilometers from previous known sites). The remaining species list includes Epomophorus gambianus, Rhinolophus landeri, Rh. fumigatus, Triaenops afer, Hipposideros centralis, Nycteris hispida, Chaerephon pumilla, Minioperus arenarius, Pipistrellus hesperidus, Neoromicia nanus, N. cf. guineensis, N. cf. somalicus, Scotophylus dinganii, and S. leucogaster. It looks very probable, that the actual bat fauna of Dhati-Welel is definitely more rich. Some species can make seasonal short-range migrations occurring at the surveyed area only in wet season; other, having low population density, may live in some specific biotopes and avoid capture during our survey. Such high diversity, especially observed in so short time, was previously seen by us in the Godare forest in eastern part of Gambella and in the Alatish National Park. Both territories are situated not too far from Dhati-Welel. This suggests general increase of bat taxonomic diversity in the western part of Ethiopia.
