Neoromicia nana (Peters 1852)

This common species was netted at 12 sites throughout Mozambique, making it the most widespread species encountered during this study. It was found characteristically roosting within a rolledup banana leaf at the base of Mount Mabu. Riccucci and Lanza (2008) showed that the genus name Neoromicia is feminine, and therefore the species name should be N. nana (this species was previously known by the masculine form of N. nanus ).
