COMMON NAME. — English: Dja Slit-faced Bat. French: Nyctère de Ja.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 3 specimens.
Mount Cameroon area • 2 ♀♀, 1 ♂; Mubenge - Isongo; 4°05’00”N, 9°00’00”E; 0 m; Martin Eisentraut leg.; SMNS 3450, 5590; ZMB 93805 GoogleMaps .
ORIGINAL DATA. — Previously, this species has been recorded at the southwestern slope of Mount Cameroon by Eisentraut (1973), but no individuals were encountered during our field surveys.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is distributed in West and Central Africa ( Mickleburgh et al. 2008b). It is principally associated with lowland rainforest and coastal forest ( Monadjem et al. 2010; Fahr 2013e). As this species requires large trees for roosting, it is presumably threatened by deforestation ( Mickleburgh et al. 2008b).
