Scotonycteris zenkeri Matschie, 1894

Recorded from Mt Nimba in Liberia by Coe (1975), Verschuren (1977), Wolton et al. (1982), and A. Forbes-Watson (A. Monadjem, personal observation), but has not been recorded anywhere on Mt Nimba since then. The proportion of this species as a function of the total number of fruit bats captur- ed is typically low: 3.2% (n = 247 fruit bats; Verschuren, 1977), 1.5% (n = 199; Coe, 1975) and 2.7% (n = 979; Wolton et al., 1982), but appreciably higher than for the previous species ( C. ophiodon).
