REMARK
This species was recorded from Rio Boutry (located now in Ghana nearby the political border with Togo) by Matschie (1893b). There are several records from the Volta Region of Ghana ( Grubb 1971; Decher & Abedi-Lartey 2002) Its presence in Togo is also listed in the African Chiroptera Report ( ACR 2015) .

REMARK
A voucher of this species originating from Bismarckburg (Adéle) is presently stored in the ZMB. Both IUCN (2014) and Simmons (2005) do not account Togo as a presence country. Indeed, this species is recorded in East Africa ( Simmons 2005). Therefore, the correct identification of the ZMB voucher should be carefully investigated.

VOUCHERS. — Sixty-eight specimens were collected by the African Mammal Project from Dapaong and Pewa ( Robbins 1980; NMNH), four voucher specimens were collected at Aledjo ( De Vree et al. 1969, 1970, 1996).
REMARK
The West African taxon, inhabiting Senegal and Sierra Leone, is R. diversus Sanborn, 1939 ( Grubb et al. 1998), whereas in Togo the present taxon should be R. foxi Thomas, 1913 .
