* Nycteris hispida (Schreber, 1774) .

Nycteris hispida has a very wide distribution, both in CRB and Pan-African. In the DRC it is found over almost the entire country, and it is also known from both Rwanda and Burundi. The SDM map indicates that it occurs almost over the entire sub-Saharan African continent, with the exception of the extreme eastern part. It is also missing from Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe (except for the most northern parts of these latter two countries), and from most of the RSA, where it only occurs along the eastern coast line.
