Hayman et al. (1966 : map 75) plotted one specimen from Avakubi, which is actually the same specimen they plotted as “ Pipistrellus musciculus ” (see above). One additional record is from from Mosenge in Kwilu Province. The map given by Van Cakenberghe & Happold (2013f: 639) shows that P. nanulus primarily occurs in the savannas of Sudan and Guinea , the northern rainforest-savanna mosaic in West Africa (from Guinea to Togo and from southern Nigeria to Gabon , and from north-central Benin to central Nigeria ) and in the eastern rainforest-savanna mosaic in northeastern DRC , Uganda and western Kenya . Based on additional material mentioned in ACR (2016: 1276) , our distribution map covers a more continuous area from Senegal to western Kenya , with a small gap at the Dahomey Gap in western Africa. The map also shows that it could occur over almost the entire northern half of the DRC , with the exception of the central part.
