Abstract
Four bones of the extinct vampire bat Desmodus stocki Jones were recovered from New Trout Cave, Pendleton County, West Virginia. Three of the four elements were located in a level 30 cm below a level radio-carbon dated to 29,400±1700 years before present (BP); the fourth was located in a younger layer but is suspected to have been redeposited. This is the first record of Desmodus stocki from the central Appalachians.
