Description
Laephotis angolensis Monard, 1935
Fig. 42 A–B
Laephotis angolensis Monard, 1935: 45.
* Laephotis wintoni angolensis (Monard, 1935).
At the time Hayman et al. (1966) was written, the genus Laephotis was considered to be monotypic (Hill 1974: 1), with the nominate subspecies restricted to Kenya and L. w. angolensis occurring in Angola, Zambia, Botswana and the southern part of the DRC. However, based on cranial characteristics, Peterson (1971a: 888) found the two to be specifically different.
Laephotis angolensis was reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 50, map 67) with 13 specimens from two localities in Haut-Katanga, and no further localities have been added since. Of these 11 were found to represent L. botswanae (Kearney & Seamark 2005: 73). Extralimitally, the species is further known from Angola, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
