A noteworthy bat record from São Vicente Island, Cape Verde Archipelago (Mammalia: Chiroptera)
Original language description
A bat belonging to the family Molossidae was discovered on the eastern shore of São Vicente Island, Cape Verde Archipelago (approx. coordinates 16o50'45'N, 24o52'15'W) on 3 October 2023. The record represents a fourth bat species, and third bat family documented from the north-western island group of the Cape Verde Islands and a second species undoubtedly coming from São Vicente Island. Moreover, it very probably is the eighth species of bat documented from the whole archipelago, as the molossid bat previously recorded from Sal Island seems to belong to a different (but unknown) species. Because only photographs of the dorsal aspect of the newly recorded bat are available, while its proper examination has not been made, an accurate species identification is not possible. However, based on the body size and colouration of the bat, it seems to be clear that it does not comprise Tadarida teniotis, the only Palaearctic representative of the family, but most probably a species of the Afro-tropic origin. Possible species affiliation of the bat is discussed.
