Epomophorus büttikoferi Matschie, 1899: 45 .
COMMON NAME. — Büttikofer’s Epauletted Fruit Bat; EWE: Aguto.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Apesokubi • 1 adult ♀ with a 53 mm long embryo; 27.VIII.2001; SMF 92116 .
REMARK
Essentially an Upper Guinea forest species with some disjunct populations east of the Dahomey Gap in Nigeria ( Bergmans 1989; Thomas & Henry 2013). All previous Ghanaian specimens were from the rainforest zone in SW Ghana west of the Volta River ( Bergmans 1989; Grubb et al. 1998). Thus, our specimen is the first record east of the Volta in Ghana.
