A new Tadarida of the subgenus Chaerephon (Chiroptera: Molossidae) fron Sao Tomé Island, Gulf of Guinea
We describe a population of the genus Tadarida (Molossidae) from São Tome Island (Gulf of Guinea, West Africa), as a new species based on cranial and interaural-membrane mor phology shown in three specimens. These features are shared only with T. (Chaerephon) gallagheri from Zaire and, in part, wit...

| Sumario: | We describe a population of the genus Tadarida (Molossidae) from São Tome Island (Gulf of Guinea, West Africa), as a new species based on cranial and interaural-membrane mor phology shown in three specimens. These features are shared only with T. (Chaerephon) gallagheri from Zaire and, in part, with T. (C.) johorensis from the Malayan Peninsula, two species that appear to be the closest allies. The families Molossidae (the new species and T. (C.) pumila) and Emballonuridae (Taphozous mauritianus) are recorded for the first time for the island of São Tome. |
