Glauconycteris beatrix was reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 49 , map 62) from two localities in northern DRC : Ibembo in Bas-Uélé Province and Paulis (= Isiro) in Haut-Uélé Province. Additional specimens are reported from Irangi (Sud-Kivu), Aketi (Bas-Uélé), Wafanya (Tshuapa) and Kimbinga, near Kikwit (Kwilu). The specimens from Kimbinga were erroneously reported as Miniopterus minor by Van Cakenberghe et al. (2000: 308) . Happold (2013 ac: 566) only mapped the specimens from Irangi, and except for the coastal areas of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea , she only plotted individual records for Côte d’Ivoire , Ghana , southern Nigeria , Gabon and northern Angola . Our distribution map suggests that G. beatrix could occur in the forest belts of both West and Central Africa, ranging from Sierra Leone in the west to western Kenya in the east.
