Rhinolophus fumigatus Rüppell 1842

Continued

Identified on the basis of wide noseleaf (> 9 mm) and hairy sella, three specimens were collected at two sites in northern Mozambique. Peak echolocation call of a single male was 54 kHz (ANABAT), which is almost identical to the peak frequencies recorded in South Africa (53.7 kHz — Schoeman and Jacobs, 2008; Monadjem et al., 2010).
