Notes on bats of Sudan. American Museum novitates ; no. 2839

Abstract

"Based upon recent collections of bats from Bahr-el-Ghazal and Equatoria provinces in southern Sudan, Epomophorus minor is added to the list of species known from that country, and the geographic ranges of Micropteropus pusillus, Eptesicus capensis, Eptesicus somalicus, and Chaerephon major are extended within Sudan. Examples of species poorly represented in museum collections were also collected, including Nycteris thebaica, Chalinolobus variegatus, and Scotoecus hirundo. Ecological notes were recorded; embryos and parasites were collected and preserved. Seventy-one species are now known to occur in Sudan"--P. [1].
