Fig. 13 E–F

Megaderma cor Peters, 1872: 194 .

The distribution area for Cardioderma cor reported by Happold (2013n: 404) covers part of northeastern Africa, from eastern Sudan at the border with Eritrea, over Eritrea and central Ethiopia and central Kenya to northern Tanzania, with an extention into western Somalia and some individual localities in eastern Ethiopia and easternmost Somalia. The westernmost occurrence of C. cor is northeastern Uganda and just across the border into South Sudan.

The DRC specimen reported here was collected by the Congolese authors at Rubi-Tele in Tshopo Province, which is a westward extension of about 800 km from the hereto closest known locality.
