Neoromicia nana (Peters, 1852)

This species was previously recorded from Liberian and Guinean Nimba (Wolton et al., 1982; Brosset, 1985; Fahr et al., 2006). During this survey, it was recorded widely in forested and forest edge habitats between 450 and 530 m a.s.l. This taxon is distributed across much of sub-Saharan Africa, occurring in a wide range of habitats and exhibiting significant morphological variation ( Happold, 2013 b) suggesting the presence of cryptic species. This species displayed rather large variation in size at Mt Nimba (forearm range 25.6–30.0 mm), but the significance of this has yet to be investigated.
