Megaloglossus azagnyi Nesi et al., 2012 View in CoL

This species was not previously recorded from Mt Nimba. This species was only captured within old growth or secondary forest at relatively low altitudes on both Liberian and Guinean sides of the mountain between 450 m and 690 m a.s.l. We follow Nesi et al. (2013) in recognising this newly described West African taxon as a species separate from M. woermanni , which occurs further east.
