Miniopterus (schreibersii) villiersi Aellen, 1956 View in CoL

This species was not previously recorded from Mt Nimba. During this survey, it was recorded from 460 m to 900 m a.s.l., and was roosting in old mine adits on Mt Gangra and Mt Yuelliton, adjacent to Mt Nimba, on the Liberian side. The taxon villiersi may represent a distinct species restricted to the Upper Guinea forest zone ( Fahr et al., 2006).
