Nycteris arge Thomas, 1903 View in CoL

This species was previously recorded from Liberian Nimba (Verschuren, 1977; Wolton et al., 1982). During this survey, it was recorded widely in forested habitats between 400 and 1,000 m a.s.l. on the Liberian side. This species was distinguished from the similar N. intermedia by its larger size (forearm length 39.8–48.8 mm, and greatest skull length 19.7–20.1 mm, n = 5).
