Type Locality: Cameroon, Upper Benoue Valley, Ngaaouyanga.

Vernacular Names: Aellen's Pipistrelle.

Distribution: Sierra Leone, Ghana, Benin, Cameroon, and Uganda. Specimens from Kenya and Dem. Rep. Congo previously referred to this species are now thought to represent eisentrauti ; see Koopman et al. (1995). A possible record from Sudan cannot be confirmed as the specimen is too immature to identify (M. Happold, pers. comm.).

Discussion: Subgenus Pipistrellus . Often misspelled inexpectatus.
