Hipposideros abae is in the DRC only known from the extreme northeastern part of the country. Most records are from the Garamba National Park and from Aba (Haut-Uélé Province). There is one additional specimen from Digba (Bas-Uélé Province). The map provided by Happold (2013h: 372) shows a very patchy distribution from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa to northwestern Uganda. Based on climatic data, we suspect that the species might occur even further to the east through South Sudan to western Ethiopia.
