Myonycteris relicta Bergmans, 1980: 171 , 173.

One specimen, identified as belonging to this species by Norberto Giannini, was collected in the Kasaï Province (Beyi - Kalonji). Taylor (2013: 274) reported it from the coastal forest mosaic from southeastern Kenya to southeastern Tanzania and from the Zambezian woodland in eastern Zimbabwe. The Durban Natural Science Museum also has a specimen from Mozambique ( ACR 2016: 998). Based on these data, the SDM map shows that the species might potentially occur in southern Uganda and in the border area between the DRC and Tanzania, and that the currently reported locality might be too far to the west.
