Lond., 1837: 101. | Common Name: | Lander's Horseshoe Bat | Type Locality: | Equatorial Guinea, Bioko. | Distribution: | Senegal and Gambia to Ethiopia and Somalia, south to South Africa and Namibia; Bioko (Equatorial Guinea); Zanzibar. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | landeri species group. According to Hayman and Hill (1971) and Koopman (1975), this species includes angolensis, dobsoni, and guineensis, but not brockmani; but see Böhme and Hutterer (1979) who correctly treated guineensis as a separate species. See Brown and Dunlop (1997); also see Kock et al. (2002), who discussed differences between landeri and denti. |
