There is considerable variation in fur color, with generally dark individuals from rain forest zones and paler, brighter ones in savanna woodland; juveniles quite dark. However we are not convinced that Pipistrellus helios is conspecific, contra Koopman (1975, 1994). Hill & Harrison (1987) found appreciable difference in the baculum, also the Type series of P. helios and others from N Kenya and S Somalia differ in aver- age smaller skulls, more bifid inner incisors and pink- ish rather than blackish ears. We have not seen spec- imens from Uganda that seem to represent P. helios, although it is expected in NE Uganda. DeBeaux (1922) lists a number of P. nanus juveniles taken on Sesse Island (?June), and two sets of twin embryos; from near Kampala (DAS) includes embryos 28 March, males in breeding condition in Feb. and March. Kityo & Kerbis (1996) list condition of matu- rity of several examples, and a pregnant 9 in June from Semliki forest. Special Literature. Lausen & Barclay (2005). Pipistrellus hesperidus fuscatus.
