Head-body ¢.40-45 mm, tail 27-40 mm, ear 7-11 mm, hindfoot 5-8 mm, forearm 27-33 mm; weight 3-6 g. Pelage of the Zulu Serotineis soft, dense, and without sheen; dorsally medium brown, sometimes paler on rump, and sometimes slightly tinged orange (hairs blackish brown, sometimes with paler middle, and medium to pale brown tip; mid-dorsal hairs 6-7 mm long); ventrally paler and grayer (hairs very dark gray with pale grayish brown or gray tip). Wings are dark brown, slightly translucent, mostly without white hind border; interfemoral membrane dark brown, slightly translucent. Ears are brown,relatively short, and subtriangular with rounded tip; tragus is about one-half ear length; anterior margin smoothly concave, posterior margin smoothly convex, but with shallow rounded angle below mid-height, and with basal lobe prominent, folded, and triangular. Eyes are very small. Skull is small in comparison with other African pipistrelle-like bats (greatest skull lengths 11-3-12-9 mm); braincase is comparatively high and narrow, interorbital region quite narrow, rostrum fairly short and narrow; profile of forehead is weakly to moderately concave, and sometimes raised; braincase has no occipital helmet and is smoothly rounded posteriorly. I? is large, usually unicuspid, but sometimes bicuspid; I is one-half height of I?, and higher than cingulum of I? but lower than secondary cusp, if present; P* is almost always absent, butif present, minute and hardly visible above gum; lower molars are myotodont. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 28 and FNa = 50 (sometimes erroneously given as 48).

The Zulu Serotine forages by slow hawking in moderateto highclutter spaces, including near tree canopies, glades in woodland, open spaces between tree trunks and lower branches, and clearings around buildings. Diet includes moths and beetles. A captive fed on winged termites, and drank water irregularly.

, one adult female was pregnant with two embryos in October, one was lactating in November, and in February one was post-lactating while another was reproductively inactive. A juvenile was caught in December and two subadults were recorded in April. Two males with abdominal testes were recorded in November and December, and one with scrotal testes in June. These data suggest restricted seasonal monoestry with births in the beginning of the wet season.
