| Summary: | Pipistrellus nanulus Thomas, 1904 Pipistrellus nanulus Thomas, 1904: 198. COMMON NAMES. — English: Tiny Pipistrelle. French: Pipistrelle minuscule. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — We did not examine any specimen attributed to this species. ORIGINAL DATA. — The tiny pipistrelle was not captured during our field surveys, but has previously been recorded from Mount Cameroon by Fedden & MacLeod (1986), who captured a single male in a primary forest at an altitude of 860 m a.s.l. HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is widespread in West and Central Africa, with an isolated population occurring in East Africa. According to Van Cakenberghe & Happold (2013), this species principally inhabits tropical lowland rainforest, but has also been recorded in riverine forest, tropical dry forest and lowland and moist savannah. In Nigeria it is found in the rainforest zone extending northwards into derived and Guinea savannah zones and may be associated with banana plantations (Happold 1987).
