REMARK
Although this is a mostly forest-dwelling fruit bat distributed from eastern Côte d’Ivoire into Central Africa ( Happold 2013a), our specimen from Kalakpa Resource Reserve shows that it can cope with forest remnants and gallery forest in more savanna-dominated areas. Epomops franqueti was previously known in the Volta Region from Amedzofe, Bator, Leklebi Agbesia, and Odomi Jongo ( Bergmans 1989).
CONSERVATION STATUS. — Epomops franqueti is listed as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List.
