Table 3. Cranial measurements (in millimetres) of specimens of Laephotis kirinyaga from Marsabit National Park, Kenya

Specimen or taxon	GSKL	ZYGO	POB	MAST	GBW	GSH	MAND
Measurements are presented as the mean ± SD, range and sample size (N). Measurements are of the holotype, other individuals of the new species and other ‘short-eared’ species of Laephotis. Measurements for the three Malagasy endemics, Lae. robertsi, Lae. matroka and Lae. malagasyensis, are taken from Goodman et al. (2017).
Measurements are presented as the mean ± SD, range and sample size (N). Measurements are of the holotypes, other individuals of the two new species and other species of Pseudoromicia. The three species listed above the horizontal black line are dark winged, the four below are white winged (see main text for more details).
