COMMON NAMES. — English: Eisentraut’s Pipistrelle. French: Pipistrelle d’Eisentraut.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 5 specimens (including original data).

ORIGINAL DATA. — A single male (Table 1) was caught at the ecotone between montane forest and montane grassland at an altitude of 2130 m a.s.l. This species has previously been referred to as Hypsugo eisentrauti (Hill, 1968) and it was recorded from Mount Cameroon by Eisentraut (1968) as Pipistrellus eisentrauti . The new generic name is based on recent molecular and morphological results by Hutterer et al. (2019). Fedden & MacLeod (1986) mist-netted a total of 22 individuals in the montane forest of Mount Cameroon.

DIAGNOSIS. — The species is very small with a forearm length of 35.4 mm. The pelage is reddish-brown dorsally and slightly paler ventrally. The anterior upper premolar is visible above gum. The wings and interfemoral membrane are also reddish-brown. External measurements are presented in Table 3.

HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is probably restricted to the Cameroon Highlands, where it has been recorded on Mount Cameroon, Rumpi Highlands, and Mount Kupe by Eisentraut (Hill 1968). It is distributed principally in montane and submontane habitat from 750 m to 2235 m (Van Cakenberghe & Happold 2013).
