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.

在本研究中，观察到十三只Megaderma lyra蝙蝠栖息在Jhelum区Rohtas Fort的黑暗穹顶形房间中。其中，使用手网从栖息地捕获了六个标本。所有捕获的标本均为男性。这些蝙蝠是通过其独特的面部特征，直立且细长的鼻翼，大椭圆形的耳朵（在前额上方连接而没有尾巴）来识别的。所采集标本的平均头长和体长为80毫米，前臂长为67毫米，而第三，第四和第五掌骨的平均长度分别为51.73毫米，55.17毫米和60.42毫米。平均颅骨长度为29.84毫米，脑袋宽度为12.77毫米。两个标本的平均阴茎长度为6.6 mm，总黄斑长度分别为3.08 mm。这是来自Jhelum地区的Megaderma lyra的第一个记录。
