Remarks — This species was known only from its type series collected from Nycteris hispida (Schreber) in the region of Butare, Rwanda , 15 Oct. 1955 . Probably, the specimen from N. macrotis belongs to the same sample as the type series. Here T. nycteris is recorded outside the type locality and on N. macrotis for the first time.
