Myonycteris angolensis smithii (Thomas, 1908)

This species was only recorded at higher altitudes on both Liberian and Guinean sides of the mountain from 900 m to 1,200 m a.s.l., supporting Coe’s (1975) and Wolton et al.’s (1982) conclusion that this species is restricted to montane forest in this region. We follow Nesi et al. (2013) in placing this species in the genus Myonycteris .
