Nycteris thebaica E. Geoffroy 1813 View in CoL

Six specimens were recorded from four sites in central Mozambique. This species can easily be confused with N. macrotis but is slightly smaller and more gracile (see above), and has a pyriform tragus ( Monadjem et al., 2010).

Field measurements: FA (adult male) 45.9 ± 1.77 (43.9–47.8, 4); Bm (adult male) 9.3 ± 1.50 (8.0– 11.0, 4); FA (adult female) 47.1 ± 0.76 (46.6–48.0, 3); Bm (adult female) 10.3 ± 1.04 (9.5–11.5, 3). Ear length of a single male was 29.3.
