Hipposideros cf. caffer (Sundevall, 1846) View in CoL

The occurrence of this species at Mt Nimba is mentioned by Fahr et al. (2006), who re-examined specimens, originally identified as Hipposideros beatus , collected from Zouguépo and deposited in MNHN. Hipposideros caffer sensu stricto, however, is restricted to southern Africa (Vallo et al., 2008), and it is not clear what species these specimens refer to. It was not recorded during this survey.
