- Rhinolophus blasii Peters 1867 Eight rhinolophid individuals captured in the foothills and montane plateau of Mount Namuli and two from Mount Mabu were ascribed to R. blasii on the basis of the pointed connecting process, minute 1st upper premolar inside the toothrow, cranial measurements (Table 2) and on molecular grounds. However, peak echolocation frequencies ranged between 93.2–95.4 kHz (ANABAT, Pettersson D240x, n = 10), 8–9 kHz higher than previously recorded for R. blasii in Swaziland and South Africa (Monadjem, 2005; Schoeman and Jacobs, 2008; Monadjem et al., 2007). This difference may be due to geographic variation or may indicate cryptic species. Field measurements: FA (adult male) 44.6 ± 1.10 (43.5–46.4, 5); Bm (adult male) 8.6 ± 0.65 (8.0–9.5, 5); FA (adult female) 45.1 (44.7–45.4, 2); Bm (adult female) 8.3 (8.0–8.5, 2). Mean nose-leaf width was 8.48 ± 0.33 for males (n = 5) and 8.45 for females (n = 2).
