Description
Pipistrellus hesperidus Temminck, 1840
This species was previously recorded from
Liberian Nimba (Hill, 1982; Wolton et al., 1982 [as Pipistrellus kuhli and P. rusticus, see Monadjem and Fahr, 2007]), but was not recorded during this study. The previously recorded specimens (BMNH 79.509 and BMNH 79.512, deposited in the British Museum of Natural History, London) have been examin- ed by J. Fahr who confirmed their identity as P. hesperidus (J. Fahr, in litt.).
