Table 3. Female cranio-dental measurements for comparison between: Scotophilus dinganii (Natal, RSA) and S. andrewreborii sp. nov. (Rift Valley, Kenya), S. livingstonii sp. nov. (W. Kenya/Ghana), S. ejetai sp. nov. (Ethiopia); and between S. viridis (Mozambique) and S. trujilloi sp. nov. (coastal Kenya). Mensural acronyms are as follows: greatest skull length (SL), zygomatic breadth (ZB), braincase breadth (BB), braincase height (BH), interorbital width (IW), greatest breadth across upper molars (WM), greatest breadth across upper canines (WC), and mandibular length (ML). * P <0.05, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001. | SL | ZB | BB | BH | IW | WM | WC | ML |
