- Taphozous perforatus E. Geoffroy St. -Hilaire, 1818 Fig. 20 C–D Taphozous perforatus E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1818: 126. * Taphozous sudani Thomas, 1915: 561. Rosevear (1965: 150–151) compared material of both T. perforatus and T. sudani, and found that the only character distinguishing the two taxa is the darker pelage in sudani, generally combined with white wings. He also found a specimen with intermediate characters, which led him to retain sudani only as a mere subspecies of perforatus. This view was followed by most subsequent authors (e.g., Kock 1969: 74; Hayman & Hill 1971: 16; Koopman 1975: 370). With the exception of a few extra specimens from the same localities, all the material reported in this paper was already mentioned by Hayman et al. (1966: 32). The SDM map shows that T. perforatus primarily occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, above the equator, with a few records reported from northern Botswana and southern Zimbabwe.
