Abstract:

A new species of the vespertilionid bat genus Parahypsugo is described from Central Africa, increasing the number of species of the genus at least to five. The new taxon occurs in montane forests of Rwanda and eastern DR Congo and is larger than any other of the four known species. In skull measurements, it is the largest species of the genus.
