HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This sub-Saharan bat species ranges through much of West and Central Africa ( Monadjem et al. 2017e). This species had previously been signalled in Mount Cameroon ( Hill 1968), but was not recorded during our field surveys. The habitat of this species is tropical rainforest, but could extend into savannah zones. This species roosts in caves, hollow trees, the roofs of thatched houses and in old mine shafts ( Happold 1987).
