* Hypsignathus monstrosus H. Allen, 1862 .

The distribution of this large bat is very similar to that of Epomops franqueti . Also, this species occurs over almost the entire DRC, with the exception of the former Katanga Province. The additional specimens we were able to track fill in the spaces between the records reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 25, map 11), but do not expand the distribution area reported by these authors.
