    Bat assemblages in Tanzanian coastal forests
    (1997-12) Cockle, A.; Kock, D.; STUBLEFIELD, L.; Howell, Kim; Burgess, Neil D.
    Bat species lists were compiled in 17 small coastal forests of Tanzania, eastern Africa, between 1990 and 1992. Forty-six bat species were recorded, with up to 15 species in a single forest. Eight forests were sufficiently studied for comparisons to be made on species frequencies and species diversity. Regional diversity was 2.74, and local diversities ranged between 1.55 to 1.97. Many species were remarkably unevenly distributed. Records of biogeographical significance for Tanzania were: confirmations of Myotis tricolor, Tadarida brachyptera, Myonycteris relicta, Rhinolophus deckenii and Kerivoula africana, and first records of Scotophilus nigrita alvenslebeni, Hipposideros cyclops and Cloeotis percivali.

    Rhinolophus maendeleo n. sp. from Tanzania, a horseshoe bat noteworthy for its systematics and biogeography 1) (Mammalia, Chiroptera,Rhinolophidae)
    (1999-12) Kock, D.; Csorba, Gabor; Howell, Kim
    Described is Rhinolophus maendeleo n. sp. from the Coastal Lowland forests, Tanzania. The new species differs from its closest relative Rh. adami by the shape of noscleaf and by cranial and baCillar characteristics. The systematics of the new species and its Central African forest-dwelling relative is discussed.
