Description
Laephotis botswanae Setzer, 1971
Fig. 42 C–D
Laephotis botswanae Setzer, 1971: 260. This species was reported from two localities near Lubumbashi (Haut-Katanga Province) in the extreme southeastern part of the DRC. The distribution map provided by Kearney (2013a: 580) indicates that the species occurs in a number of scattered areas in southern Africa: southeastern DRC and northwestern Zambia, central and southern Zimbabwe reaching into northern RSA, northwestern Botswana and northeastern Namibia, southern Malawi, and in some individual localities in Angola, southeastern RSA and northern Malawi. Kearney (2013a: 580), however, also pointed out that the relationship between angolensis and botswanae is obscure, because of the scarcity of the former, but she also refers to Setzer (1971: 262), who indicated that the two species might possibly occur sympatrically.
