This series presents a wide range of color variation, the palest, a female, 

 being pale ochraceous buff, while another female and one male are also much 

 paler than the average. In quite a number of the younger specimens the 

 wing membranes are distinctly barred with dark bands, in one or two 

 strongly so. 



This series extends the known range of Epomophorus anurus somewhat 

 to the westward of records given by Andersen (Uganda and Ruwenzori).
