Fig. 7 in A new Pipistrelle bat from the oceanic Island of Príncipe (Western Central Africa)
Fig. 7.—Selected echolocation calls of Pseudoromicia principis sp. nov. with three examples (A, B, C) of calls showing decreasing frequency modulation (FM) and increasing quasi-constant frequency (QCF) elements. Calls were directly recorded from free-flying bats at dusk in Santo António city and surroundings.
Fig. 3 in A new Pipistrelle bat from the oceanic Island of Príncipe (Western Central Africa)
Fig. 3.—Portrait of Pseudoromicia principis sp. nov. showing a typical pipistrelle-like appearance. Pelage is chocolate brown dorsally and ventrally although tips of the ventral pelage present a distinct light creamy tinge. Photograph by Jorge Palmeirim.
Fig. 2 in A new Pipistrelle bat from the oceanic Island of Príncipe (Western Central Africa)
Fig. 2.—Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction based on the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b (Cytb). Values above branches represent Bayesian posterior probabilities and values below branches are bootstrap values of maximum likelihood (support values <50 are not shown). The right column presents sequences GenBank accession numbers. The sequence JQ956446 is listed in GenBank as Pseudoromicia tenuipinnis but it was probably misidentified. See Table 1 for a complete list of the specimens used and main text for details of the molecular analyses.

Distribution. Widespread in N and NE Africa, occurring from Senegal on the W coast of Africa to Egypt in the E, in a range that includes Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya in the N to Nigeria, Chad, and Tanzania in the S. They have expanded their range from the Arabian Peninsula into Western Europe, to Bulgaria, Austria, and NE Italy and E into Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Central Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, then E and S to Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and parts of Indochina. in Canidae

Distribution. Widespread in the C and W regions of S Africa, reaching to about 15° N in SW Angola. Occupies mainly arid and semi-arid areas, but also occurs in regions with higher precipitation and denser vegetation, such as the fynbos biome of South Africa's Western Cape Province. Cape Foxes have expanded their range over recent decades to the SW, where the species reaches the Atlantic and Indian Ocean coastlines. May occur in SW Swaziland, and possibly also in Lesotho. in Canidae

FIGURE 2. Sepal vestiture and leaf shape in Pelargonium pseudosetulosum and P. setulosum. Both species have a mix of short, eglandular hairs and small glandular hairs on the sepals. The leaf blade in P. pseudosetulosum is usually entire and cordate to sub-circular with the apical tooth not markedly larger or sharper than the flanking teeth, but in P. setulosum the blade shape varies from entire to deeply incised, usually with the apical tooth sharply pointed and often longer than the flanking teeth.

P. setulosum [Le Roux 173 (PRE)]; F., H. P. setulosum [Van der Walt 916 (PRE)]; G. P. setulosum [Compton 5740 (NBG)]. Scale bar: A–B: 2 mm; C–G: 10 mm. A–F, H photographed by M.M. le Roux and G by M. Smith.
