Rhinolophus alcyone
Temminck, 1853
°
REMARK
This species was recorded from Rio Boutry (located now in
Ghana
nearby the political border with
Togo
) by
Matschie (1893b)
. There are several records from the
Volta Region
of
Ghana
(
Grubb 1971
; Decher & Abedi-Lartey 2002) Its presence in
Togo
is also listed in the African
Chiroptera Report (
ACR 2015

.
Rhinolophus eloquensis
K. Andersen, 1905
•
REMARK
A voucher of this species originating from Bismarckburg (Adéle) is presently stored in the ZMB. Both IUCN (2014) and
Simmons (2005)
do not account
Togo
as a presence country. Indeed, this species is recorded in East Africa (
Simmons 2005
). Therefore, the correct identification of the ZMB voucher should be carefully investigated.
