  • Hypsugo sp. New material ZFMK 2008.0295, ♀, FC, 8 March 2008; ZFMK 2008.0296, ♀, TO, 14 March 2008; ZFMK 2009. 0032, ♀, CMR, 18 December 2008; ZFMK 2009. 0029. ♂, WSV, 12 December 2008. We captured seven slightly larger individuals than H. crassulus (discussed above) and assigned them to the genus Hypsugo: two were captured in the canopy net over the creeks at FC, one in a forest net at TO, three over the creek in the WSV and one over the creek in gallery forest at CMR. They ranged in body mass from 7 to 14 g. One female (ZFMK 2008.0295) carried a single embryo of 17 mm crown-rump length. In the molecular analysis (Fig. 3), our four specimens grouped with a specimen from Mount Nimba (DM 13225) tentatively labelled Neoromicia sp. 1 (Monadjem et al., 2013 b) forming a sister group to H. crassulus. These specimens also have the “much reduced, small” upper anterior premolar described by Hill and Harrison (1987: 244) as a characteristic of the subgenus Hypsugo. Thus, we tentatively assign them to an unidentified species of Hypsugo. Conservation status The conservation status of this species has not yet been evaluated (IUCN, 2015).
