COMMON NAME. — Halcyon Horseshoe Bat.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Kalakpa Resource Reserve • 1 ♀; SMF 89668. Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary • 4 ♂; ZTNHC 952 +958, SMF 89669+92129 • 2 ♀; SMF 92127+92128. Apesokubi • 1 ♀; SMF 92130 .
REMARK
Larger than R. landeri Martin, 1838 (weight: 12.5-14.6 g; forearm: 47.5-53 mm). Our specimens confirm that R. alcyone is widely distributed in forest and forest-savanna mosaic. The closest previous records are from Akaniem north of Kete Krachi and from Breniasi and Worawora south of Apesokubi ( Grubb 1971). In Côte d’Ivoire Fahr (1996) captured three out of five specimens in savanna.
CONSERVATION STATUS. — Listed as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List, this species was the most common rhinolophid bat in our survey and is probably of lesser conservation concern in the Ghana-Togo Highlands.
