Variation in the African bat, Tadarida lobata, with notes on habitat and habits (Chiroptera, Molossidae) /

Abstract

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Known specimens of T adarida lobata are increased from three to 23 with the addition of a specimen from the Kapenguria area about 80 km SSW of the type locality in northwestern Kenya, and a series of 19 specimens from Maungu Hill in southeastern Kenya. Statistical comparisons of adults of the latter series showed sexual dimorphism in 14 of 23 cranial characters but none in external features. The white interscapul•ar spot is shown to be characteristic of T. lobata and may be associated with a glandul ar ar ea of the skin that is best developed in adults. The palatal ridges number six, the last ridge extendi ng poster ior to the level of M2. Field observations indioate that T. lobata emerge late and are most active around midnight. They are fast, solitary flyers and apparently feed high above the ground.
