N. thebaica has the largest distribution of any species of the genus: it occurs over almost the entire African continent with the exception of the centre of the Sahara and the rain forest (figure 8). This species is found even in the deserts of the Arabian peninsula up to Israel and is the easternmost Nycteris species of the Ethiopian region. Its distribution on the African continent is also remarkable. It ranges along the Nile to the Mediterranean Sea. However, its occurrence in Morocco is very difficult to explain. Probably Moroccan localities are a result of an upward distri- bution from Senegal. Only very few collections have been made in the countries between Senegal and Morocco. Only Qumsiyeh & Schlitter (1981) report on some details of specimens from Mauritania, but their collection only contains N. -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Fig. 8: Distribution map of Nycteris thebaica Geoffroy, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhance
