A large colony was discovered in a cave system in the Cheringoma plateau (Appendix I). Peak echolocation frequencies ranged between 35–40 kHz (ANABAT, Pettersson D240x, n = 15). Variable peak echolocation frequencies for R. hildebrandtii populations have previously been recorded in Southern Africa (Monadjem et al., 2010). For example, calls recorded in South Africa have intermediate peak frequencies of ≈ 33 kHz at Sudwala caves and ≈ 44 kHz at Pafuri, in the Kruger National Park (Schoeman and Jacobs, 2008; M. C. Schoeman, unpublished data). At Lutope Gorge, just south of Sengwa in Zimbabwe, 17 individuals with peak frequencies of ≈ 37 kHz and one with 46 kHz were captured and recorded (Taylor et al., 2005). Based on the analysis of two mtDNA genes (cytochrome b and control region), two divergent lineages of R. hildebrandtii are present in Mozambique (referred to as Clade1 and Clade 2 in Table 2), one comprising smaller-sized individuals occurring in savanna habitats at lower elevations (Namapa, Niassa Game Reserve, Gerhard’s Cave — Clade 2) and another comprising large-sized individuals from montane habitats (Mounts Mabu and Inago — Clade 1) (P. J. Taylor, S. Stoffberg, A. Monadjem, F. P. D. Cotterill, and M. C. Schoeman, unpublished data). These two forms are morphologically distinct as shown by the non-overlap between them in most cranial measurements (Table 2).</p><p>Field measurements: For the low elevation taxon, FA (adult male) 63.3 ± 1.40 (60.1–65.2, 12); Bm (adult male) 30.9 ± 2.57 (28.0–34.5, 12); FA (adult female) 62.2 ± 2.16 (59.6–64.6, 4); Bm (adult female) 27.88 ± 5.04 (23.5–34.0, 4). Mean nose-leaf width was 14.36 ± 0.49 for males (n = 12) and 14.35 ± 0.72 for the females (n = 4). For two females from Mounts Mabu and Inago (montane form), mean FA was 67.5 (66–69) mm. Nose-leaf width for these two females was 15.0 and 15.1 mm.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2431452B35679A3AFF19C47EAC84FB4D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The skull was slender and narrow in shape with gracile zygomatic arches (and MW greater or equal to ZYW — see Table 2), undeveloped sagittal and lambdoid crests, a long rostrum with bulbous anterior narial inflation in relation to posterior inflations (giving concave rostral profile) as described by Kock et al. (2000); cranial measurements match closely the values for the holotype and paratype of this species recorded by these authors. However, slight differences between the Mount Namuli male (DM 10833) and the R. maendeleo holotype are present in baculum shape (not shown) and the presence of a bony bar closing the infraorbital foramen (open in holotype and paratype of R. maendeleo but only on the right hand side of one Mount Namuli specimen (DM10833) and on neither side in DM10839). These differences warrant further analyses to determine whether these individuals represent an undescribed species, preferably including molecular comparisons of the Mount Namuli specimens with the holotype and/or paratype. Specimens from Mount Gorongosa and Nyika Plateau of Malawi may also be referable to this species and should be examined (F. P. D.

Using existing keys based on morphological and cranial measurements (Taylor, 2000; Csorba et al., 2003), these specimens were identifiable as R. swinnyi . However, molecular analyses of the mtDNA cytochrome b gene (which included other Southern African species such as R. blasii, R. capensis, R. denti, R. landeri, R. simulator and R. swinnyi) show that these individuals group with typical R. simulator (S. Stoffberg, unpublished) from which they differ both in morphology (smaller skull lengths) and echolocation (peak echolocation frequencies ranging between 99– 103 kHz; Pettersson D980, n = 10). Specimens were observed to have dark-brown coloured spots on the cheeks. We thus chose to provisionally designate these genetically distinctive, small, brown-cheeked specimens (which are most likely an undescribed cryptic species morphologically similar to swinnyi) as ‘ cf. swinnyi ’. Peak echolocation frequencies of R. swinnyi in South Africa are similar at 106.6 kHz, but those for R. simulator in South Africa are 20 kHz lower (Schoeman and Jacobs, 2008). This suggests that these individuals may represent an undescribed species.</p><p>Field measurements: FA (adult male) 42.5 ± 0.56 (42.0–43.3, 5); Bm (adult male) 6.0 ± 0.82 (5.0–7.0, 4); FA (adult female) 42.5 ± 0.60 (41.6–43.1, 5); Bm (adult female) 6.7 ± 0.97 (5.5–8.0, 5).

It is smaller than the two Southern African species, K. lanosa and K. argentata . The species may be undescribed, or may represent a new record of an existing species (not previously recorded in Southern Africa). The two candidate species in Africa that match the overall size and coloration of this enigmatic specimen are Kerivoula africana Dobson 1878 and K. phalaena Thomas 1912 . However, the distinction between these two species is unclear based on the original species descriptions. Hayman and Hill (1971) discern the two species based on pelage coloration and the number of cusps on the inner, upper incisors (bicuspid in K. africana and unicuspid in K. phalaena). However, these characters are inconclusive in the Mount Mabu specimen. The specimen exhibits a dark brown coloration both dorsally and ventrally, lacking characteristic grizzling, and has a conspicuous secondary cusp on the inner, upper incisor. However, cranial and external measurements are larger than reported for K. africana, and other dental and cranial characters differ (and are more similar to K. phalaena). Therefore the specimen may represent an undescribed species, but this requires confirmation with an appropriate sample size of comparative specimens. In any case, this Mount Mabu specimen represents a most interesting discovery for Mozambique, and the first record of a Kerivoula species in the africana / phalaena group for Southern Africa as defined by Monadjem et al. (2010).</p><p>Field measurements: FA (adult male) 27.5 (1), BM (adult male) 3.5 (1)</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2431452B35639A3EFF00C5C2AC60FCE8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Identification was based on a principal component analysis of cranial measurements with the dataset from Kearney and Seamark (2005). The Mount Mabu specimen fell clearly within specimens attributed by Kearney and Seamark (2005) to L. botswanae (data not shown). Therefore this specimen vouches for a new distribution record for Mozambique, not having previously been recorded from the country (Van Cakenberghe and Seamark, 2008; Monadjem et al., 2010). The paucity of museum records for L. botswanae suggests that this species is rare throughout its range across Southern Africa (Taylor, 2000; Kearney and Seamark, 2005). However, the species has been commonly recorded throughout southern Malawi (Happold et al., 1987; Happold and Happold, 1989, 1997), including numerous records from lowland forest fragments around the base of Mount Mulanje, only ca. 60 km away from Mount Mabu (M. Curran and M. Kopp, unpublished data). Hence, the discovery of L. botswanae in Mozambique close to the Malawi border was not surprising.</p><p>Field measurements: FA (adult male) 35.2 (1), BM (adult male) 6 (1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2431452B35639A3EFC68C3E4AC12F88D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species has probably been overlooked in central Mozambique since it has been recorded there in the past (Smithers and Lobão Tello, 1976). Toward absolving the confusion associated with the status of this taxon, the smallest yellow-bellied species of Scotophilus in Southern Africa were assigned to S. viridis by Monadjem et al. (2010), distinct from the similar sized, but cream-bellied S. leucogaster . The recent paper by Jacobs and Barclay (2009), assigned the name S. ‘ mhlanganii ’ for their studied population of this small, yellow-bellied Scotophilus, but this most unfortunate introduction of a nomen nudum into an already confusing taxonomy has created more problems than it solves (Monadjem et al., 2010).</p><p>Field measurements: FA (adult male) 46.4 ± 1.22 (44.1–48.2, 17); Bm (adult male) 19.2 ± 2.90 (16.0– 24.5, 16); FA (adult female) 47.7 ± 2.06 (45.4–51.7, 8); Bm (adult female) 26.1 ± 7.06 (17.0–33.0, 6).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2431452B35619A3CFF09C410A961F855	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
