DISTRIBUTICM 



I. vespertiliords is widely distributed in the Old World and 

 is kniovm from scattered areas in Africa where search will probably 

 reveal numerous new locality records. 



The distribution of I. vespertilionis was first summarized by 

 Nuttall and Warburton (l^Il) and later, more extensively, by 

 Neunann (I9l6). The present distributional summary is based on 

 the latter paper, with only subsequent reports added. More recent- 

 ly, Arthur (1956A) has broxight these records up to date.
