  • Myonycteris relicta Bergmans 1980 A single specimen of this rarely collected species was captured in Chinizuia Forest and constitutes a new species record for Mozambique. The only other record for Southern Africa is from southeast Zimbabwe on the Mozambique border at the Haroni-Rusiti confluence; elsewhere the species occurs in coastal forests of East Africa (Bergmans, 1997). Field measurements: FA (juvenile female) 71.1 (1); Bm (juvenile female) 52 (1). Rousettus aegyptiacus (E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1810) This species was recorded at four sites in central and northern Mozambique. A large colony was located in a cave system on the Cheringoma plateau (Appendix I). Field measurements: FA (adult male) 94.6 ± 1.67 (92.3–98.5, 11); Bm (adult male) 135.8 ± 7.08 (122– 149, 11); FA (adult female) 96.8 (96.2–97.3, 2); Bm (adult female) 119 (102–136, 2).
