Pipistrellus grandidieri (Dobson, 1876) Fig 46 C–D Vesperugo (Vesperus) grandidieri Dobson, 1876: 500. * Eptesicus grandidieri (Dobson, 1876). Although Hayman et al. (1966: 46) report six “ Eptesicus grandidieri ” specimens from the DRC, none of these actually belong to that species, but rather to Neoromicia capensis . However, two additional specimens from Resha (Burundi; SMF 57586 and 57587) were found to belong to grandidieri , so the species does occur in the CRB area. Thorn et al. (2007) re-evaluated the known material of grandidieri and concluded that this form should be assigned to a separate subgenus ( Afropipistrellus ) within the genus Pipistrellus . Van Cakenberghe & Happold (2013c: 623) present an extremely patchy distribution range, which covers a number of isolated localities ranging from the Nigerian/Cameroonian border to southern Somalia, and southwards to central Angola and southern Mozambique. Here, we extend the distribution to Guinea and Liberia in West Africa, where “ Pipistrellus cf. grandidieri ” was reported by Decher et al. (2016: 273). : Published as part of Cakenberghe, Victor Van, Tungaluna, Guy-Crispin Gembu, Akawa, Prescott Musaba, Seamark, Ernest & Verheyen, Erik, 2017, The bats of the Congo and of Rwanda and Burundi revisited (Mammalia: Chiroptera), pp. 1-327 in European Journal of Taxonomy 382 on pages 101-103, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2017.382, http://zenodo.org/record/3860077 : {"references": ["Hayman R.
