Description
Miniopterus natalensis (A. Smith 1833)
Three individuals were captured at Gerhard’s Cave and Inhambane in southern Mozambique and a single individual from Mount Mabu in northern Mozambique. Molecular analyses based on cytochrome b show that the individuals from Gerhard’s Cave are similar to M. natalensis (AJ841977.1 — Stadelmann et al., 2004) from Springbok, South Africa.
Field measurements: FA (adult male) 47.1 (46.7– 47.5, 2); Bm (adult male) 10.5 ± (9.0–12.0, 2); FA (adult female) 46.3 (1); Bm (adult female) 10.5 (1).
