Abstract: | A second species of Rhinopomatidae, the small mouse-tailed bat Rhinopoma muscatellum Thomas 1903, is reported from Hadramaut, southern Yemen; its specific characters reliably differentiate it from all other known species. Currently omitted from all taxonomic considerations, Rh. hadithaensis Khajuria 1988 is formally synonymized with Rh. microphyllum (Brünnich 1782). |
