* Glauconycteris alboguttatus J.A. Allen, 1917: 449 .

The only known representatives of this species in the CRB area are the three specimens reported by Hayman et al. (48, 49, map 60) and one additional specimen from Yalosemba (Mongala Province; CM 86658) reported by Eger & Schlitter (2001: 7) and Thorn et al. (2009: 61). Besides these four specimens, Happold (2013 aa: 564) indicates that the species also occurs in the coastal area of Cameroon. Based on climatic data, we suspect that the species can occur over the central African forest belt from southern Nigeria to Rwanda and Burundi.
