Abstract

Two adult male specimens of small vespertilionid bats were collected from Khartoum and two males from the Dinder National Park (DNP), by mist nets. The collected specimens were identified as Glauconycteris variegata. Males of G. variegate collected from Khartoum are found to be larger than males collected from the DNP in six measured morphometric characters and have the base of their wings and their interfemoral membrane orange in colour. The males G. variegatus were found roosting in the riverine area in Khartoum and DNP. One specimen was found roosting with a colony of Scotophilus nigrita, G. argentata and Rhinolophus landeri in a well in the DNP.
