Chiroptera is one of the most diverse groups of mammals in the world, however, several areas remain poorly sampled. This is evidenced in the western region of the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil, where the Chapecó river basin is located. In the present study, 265 specimens deposited in the Scientific Collection of the Regional University of Blumenau were analyzed and collected during environmental studies in three hydroelectric plants in this basin, which covers the ecotone between the Seasonal Forest and Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (Araucaria Moist Forest), in the lower parts, and the Mixed Ombrophilous properly, in the highest parts. 21 species, 13 genera, and three families were recorded. Some specimens of the genus Myotis could not be identified as the species, reflecting the complex taxonomy of the group. Insectivorous bats presented the greatest richness (15 species). This predominance was also observed in other studies in the western region of Santa Catarina, in areas of Seasonal Forest and Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, as opposed to areas of Dense Ombrophilous Forest in the eastern region, where the predominance of bats from the Phyllostomidae family has been recorded. This work demonstrates the importance of Scientific Collections, as identifications could not be confirmed solely through indirect data from reports delivered to environmental agencies.
