Abstract
We describe a population of the genus Tadarida (Molossidae) from Sao Tome Island (Gulf of Guinea, West Africa), as a new species based on cranial and interaural-membrane morphology 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 Sao Tome.
