Allen, 1917 Fig. 30 A–B Mops (Allomops) nanulus J.A. Allen, 1917: 477 . * Tadarida (Mops) nanula (J.A. Allen, 1917 ) . This species was reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 66 , map 104) from nine localities in the northeastern, southeastern and southwestern parts of the DRC . The specimens from Butembo (Nord-Kivu Province) were re-identified by Frits De Vree as belonging to M. (X.) spurrelli . Additional specimens were reported from the Kikwit area (Kwilu Province), Lulimbi (Nord-Kivu Province), the Isa River (Ituri Province), and Aba (Haut-Uélé Province). All of these are in the same general area. However, M. (X.) nanulus was also collected at Yalosemba (Mongala Province) and Tandala (Sud-Ubangi Province) in the northwestern part of the DRC . These two latter localities were not included on the map presented by Happold ( 2013t : 521) . Her map shows a patchy distribution, with two major areas in the DRC : one in the southwestern part of the country and a second reaching from western South Sudan over northeastern DRC through Uganda to western Kenya . Furthermore, there are smaller areas in the border area of southern Nigeria and Cameroon , southern Ghana and Sierra Leone , as well as individual localities along the border of Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire and between Benin and Nigeria , in Cameroon , and western Ethiopia . Our Pan-African distribution map suggests that the species can occur from Sierra Leone to Togo and from southern Nigeria over Cameroon , northern Congo , southern Central African Republic , northern DRC , southern South Sudan and Uganda to western Kenya , and as well as from Cameroon , eastern Gabon , central Congo into southwestern and southcentral DRC .
