ResumoBats from Centro-Sul e Medio Paraiba regions of the Rio de Janeiro state (Mammalia, Chiroptera). The aim of this paper is to provide a checklist of bat species recorded in the Medio Paraiba e Centro-Sul regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Records were based on review of the specimens housed in the Adriano Lucio Peracchi (ALP) and the Rio de Janeiro National Museum (MN) Mastozoological Collections, and literature sources. There are 42 bat species of 30 genera reported or collected in these regions, comprising five families: Emballonuridae (one species), Phyllostomidae (23 species), Noctilionidae (one species), Molossidae (six species) and Vespertilionidae (ten species). It is emphasized the record of Platyrrhinus recifinus (Thomas) and Myotis ruber (E. Geoffroy), regarded as Vulnerable in the Brazilian Threatened Species List. The bat species richness found for the Medio Paraiba and Centro- Sul regions comprises 56 % of the total richness of the state. Further studies using diversified sampling methods may lead to increase of the richness, and are need to obtain satisfactory knowledgement of the bat fauna from these regions and to know its actual contribution to richness of bat species of the Rio de Janeiro state.
