COMMON NAME. — English: Large Wrinkle-lipped Bat. French: Tadaride à oreillettes. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 specimen (see Table 1 ). ORIGINAL DATA. — During our field surveys, a single male was captured above a stream in cultivated farm at an altitude of 20 m a.s.l. This specimen was the first recorded from Mount Cameroon area. We did not examine any museum specimens belonging to this species. DIAGNOSIS. — The measurement of the forearm is 42.4 mm ( Table 3 ), that fits well within the range of Chaerephon major ( Happold 2013g , as Tadarida majo r). A distinct central lappet of skin projects between inner bases of ears. The dorsal and ventral pelage is greyish-brown, with a white central area and whitish flank-stripe ventrally. Other external measurements fit within those provided by Happold ( 2013g ) by Happold ( 2013g ) ( Table 3 ). HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This lowland species is found throughout much of West Africa, as well as along the Nile River from Sudan to Uganda . It has also been recorded in Uganda , Kenya and Tanzania ( Happold 2013g as Tadarida major ). In Cameroon , the species has been recorded previously in the Sahelian zone of northern Cameroon ( Bakwo Fils et al. 2014 ) The species primarily inhabits savannahs but has also been recorded in rainforest habitats where it roosts in hollow trees and holes in walls of buildings ( Happold 2013g ). It is threatened in some part of its range by habitat loss and disturbance of old building ( Monadjem et al. 2017b ).
