Remarkably high age found in Myotis emarginatus and Myotis brandtii from Slovakia (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). New longevity records of the Geoffroy’s bat (Myotis emarginatus) and Brandt’s bat (Myotis brandtii) were made in eastern Slovakia with the help of ringing. The minimum age of twenty years and two months was evidenced for a Myotis emarginatus individual re-captured at a small cave near Beňatina in the Východné Beskydy Mts. on 2 September 2016 (first caught and ringed at the same site on 2 August 1996). It is the second highest age found in this bat from Slovakia, where the known longevity maximum is 22 years and eight months. In Myotis brandtii, the minimum age of 28 years was recorded, when a male was netted in a forest near Priekopa in the Vihorlat Mts. on 12 August 2022 that was first caught and ringed at a very close site on 14 August 1994.
