3. Epomophorus crypturus Pet. 

 $. 1999. 



A young specimen. Topotype of species. 



" Native name, ' Demanyundo.'

4. Rhinolophus lobatus Pet. 



6. 2018. $ . 2013, 2014, 2019, 2021, 2025. 



These are practically topotypes of Peters's species, the technical 

 type-locality being Sena. 



"Native name, ' Nyagelingwelingwe ' ; it is the same for all 

 insectivorous bats." — C. H. B. G. 



5. Rhinolophus hildbbrandti Pet. 

 $. 2009.

" Both species of Rhinolophus (vide supra), these, and Petalia 

 (vide infra) were all taken out of one tree." — C. H. B. G, 



7. Petalia* capensis Sm, 



6. 2011, 2012, 2017. $. 2010. 



These specimens represent the Nyctei'is fidiginosa of Peters, the 

 type-locality of which was Boror. 



8. Vespertilio capensis Sm. 

 S. 2004. 



An exceptionally large individual, but not, we think, separable 

 from V. capensis. 



9. SCOTOPHILUS NIGRITA DINGANI Sm. 



c?. 1994. 



The vai'ious forms included by Dobson under Scotophilus 

 horhonicus = nigrita, in his ' Catalogue of the Chiroptera,' may 

 apparentlj' be separated into two groups by their size — a larger, 

 represented by >S'. nigrita Schreb., and a smaller, the oldest name 

 for which is S. viridis Peters. 



The present specimen is a topotype of Peters's JVi/cticejus 

 planirostris, but we are unable to separate it from S. dingani. 



* = Nycteris auctorum.
