Andersen, 1912) Petalia major K. Andersen, 1912: 547 . COMMON NAME. — English: Dja Slit-faced Bat. French: Nyctère de Ja. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 3 specimens . Mount Cameroon area • 2 ♀♀ , 1 ♂ ; Mubenge - Isongo ; 4°05’00”N , 9°00’00”E ; 0 m; Martin Eisentraut leg.; SMNS 3450, 5590; ZMB 93805 . ORIGINAL DATA. — Previously, this species has been recorded at the southwestern slope of Mount Cameroon by Eisentraut (1973) , but no individuals were encountered during our field surveys. HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is distributed in West and Central Africa ( Mickleburgh et al. 2008b ). It is principally associated with lowland rainforest and coastal forest ( Monadjem et al. 2010 ; Fahr 2013e ). As this species requires large trees for roosting, it is presumably threatened by deforestation ( Mickleburgh et al. 2008b ).
