Miniopterus natalensis (A. Smith 1833) View in CoL

Three individuals were captured at Gerhard’s Cave and Inhambane in southern Mozambique and a single individual from Mount Mabu in northern Mozambique. Molecular analyses based on cytochrome b show that the individuals from Gerhard’s Cave are similar to M. natalensis (AJ841977.1 — Stadelmann et al., 2004) from Springbok, South Africa.
