The authors karyotyped five species of bats from Gabon. Glauconycteris beatrix and G. poensis both have an all-biarmed 2n = 22 karyotype, consistent with the recognition of Glauconycteris as a genus distinct from Chalinolobus. One specimen of Hipposideros caffer had a 2n = 32 karyotype similar to that published for this species from other areas in Africa. We report a 2n = 52 karyotype for Hipposideros gigas which is identical to that found in H. vittatus. The slit-faced bat Nycteris grandis has a 2n = 42 karyotype similar to that known in other species of Nycteris.
