Pipistrellus hesperidus (Temminck 1840)

Thirteen specimens were collected in the foothills and montane plateau of Mount Namuli, northern Mozambique and a further two individuals from southern Mozambique (Appendix I). Two prior specimens were recorded from central and southern Mozambique ( Smithers and Lobão Tello, 1976). Hence, the species occurs throughout the country.
