Pipistrellus hesperidus (Temminck 1840) Thirteen specimens were collected in the foothills and montane plateau of Mount Namuli, northern Mozambique and a further two individuals from southern Mozambique (Appendix I). Two prior specimens were recorded from central and southern Mozambique (Smithers and Lobão Tello, 1976). Hence, the species occurs throughout the country. Field measurements: FA (adult male) 30.9 ± 1.03 (29.8–31.8, 3); Bm (adult male) 5.0 ± 0.50 (4.5–5.5, 3); FA (adult female) 31.5 (31.3–31.6, 2); Bm (adult female) 6.8 (6.5–7.0, 2).
