During the present study thirteen Megaderma lyra bats were observed roosting in dark, domed shaped room of Rohtas Fort, district Jhelum. Out of these, six specimens were captured from the roosting site, using hand net. All captured specimens were male. These bats were identified through their unique facial features, an erect and elongated nose-leaf, large oval ears that joined above the forehead and no tail. Mean head and body length of captured specimens was 80 mm, forearm length was 67 mm while average lengths of 3rd, 4th and 5th metacarpals were 51.73 mm, 55.17 mm and 60.42 mm, respectively. Mean skull length was 29.84 mm, breadth of braincase was 12.77 mm. Average Penis length of two specimens was 6.6 mm and total bacular length was 3.08 mm respectively. This is the first record of Megaderma lyra from district Jhelum.
在本次研究中，观察到 13 只大蹄蝠栖息在杰赫勒姆地区罗塔斯堡（Rohtas Fort）呈穹顶状的黑暗房间里。其中，有 6 只从栖息地点用手网捕获。所有捕获的标本均为雄性。这些蝙蝠通过其独特的面部特征、直立而细长的鼻叶、耳朵宽大呈椭圆形并在额头上方相连以及没有尾巴来识别。捕获标本的平均头体长为 80 毫米，前臂长为 67 毫米，而第 3、4 和 5 掌骨的平均长度分别为 51.73 毫米、55.17 毫米和 60.42 毫米。头骨长度平均为 29.84 毫米，颅腔宽度为 12.77 毫米。两只标本的阴茎平均长度为 6.6 毫米，总阴茎长度分别为 3.08 毫米。这是大蹄蝠在杰赫勒姆地区的首次记录。
