Parahypsugo crassulus

Parahypsugo crassulus (Thomas, 1904) Broad-headed pipistrelle Pipistrellus crassulus Thomas, 1904: 206. Pipistrellus (Pipistrellus) crassulus: Hill and Harrison, 1987: 242, 272. Hypsugo crassulus: Heller et al., 1994: 3, 4, 5. Pipistrellus (Vansonia) crassulus: Koopman, 1994: 116. Hypsugo eisentrauti: Volleth and Heller, 1994: 13, 20, 26. Material examined SMF 79.441 (Rwanda), SMF 79.442 (DR Congo, Kivu region, Centre de Recherche en Sciences Naturelles, 850 m a.s.l.); FMNH 167775- 776, male (Gabon), FMNH 108168, male (Sudan), FMNH 83599, male (Angola), FMNH 165170-171, male (Uganda), FMNH 152767, male (Kenya), BMNH 1904.2.8.1 (holotype), SMF 79441 -442 (DR Congo). Comments The species occurs from Cameroon and Angola eastwards to Kenya (Fahr, 2013). Chromosome number of a specimen from DR Congo was: 2n = 30, aFN = 56 (Volleth et al., 2001). This is the smallest species of the genus (Tables 3 and 4).
