With 130 individuals captured at all localities, with the exception of FC and TO, this was the most common bat species captured in this study and dominated the high forest sites. During the 2002 RAP 19 individuals of this species were recorded at W2 and BK (Fahr and Ebigbo, 2004). At Mt. Béro only one individual was captured during the 2003 RAP ( Fahr et al. , 2006 ). Denys et al. (2013) documented it at Guinean Mount Nimba. Weber and Fahr (2007 b ) mention several occurences in the Fouta Djallon and also summarized many earlier captures in that region. In Côte d’Ivoire , Fahr (1996) found 69% of M. pusillus localities in savannah 18% in forestsavannah mosaic and 12% in the rainforest. The northernmost locality for M. pusillus was Bamako, Mali , and the highest altitude at which this bat was captured was 1,800 m at Mount Cameroon ( Eisentraut, 1973 ). FIG. 3. Bayesian consensus topology based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Tadarida brasiliensis and T. teniotis were designated as outgroup taxa. See Table 3 for complete list of localities and museum and GenBank numbers. Values above branches are Bayesian posterior probabilities Conservation status Least Concern; its population trend is considered stable ( IUCN, 2015 ).
