Common names: Sundevall's Leaf-nosed Bat, Common African Leaf-nosed Bat, Lesser Leaf-nosed bat, Cape Leafnosed bat, Sundevall's Roundleaf Bat, Sundevall’s African Leaf-nosed Bat, South African Lesser Leaf-nosed Bat (English), Sundevall se bladneusvlermuis, Sundevallbladneusvlermuis, Sundevall se blaarneusvlermuis, Kaapse Blaarneusvlermuis (Afrikaans). Distribution: Sundevall’s Leaf-nosed Bat has an extensive distribution across sub-Saharan Africa and the south-western Arabian Peninsula (Simmons 2005). In Africa, there is an isolated population in Morocco, and their distribution extends from Senegal eastwards to Sudan and Ethiopia, southwards into Kenya and Tanzania, but are absent from the central dense forest areas. Their distribution continues southwards along the eastern and western regions of southern Africa, but this is restricted to the nominate H. c. caffer lineage (Vallo et al. 2008). Disjunct populations have been recorded in northern and southern Namibia and Botswana, but they are widespread across Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Within the assessment region, the species occurs in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and the northern areas of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, as well as in Swaziland (Figure 1; Skinner and Chimimba 2005; Monadjem et al. 2010). The type specimen is from Durban, South Africa (BM 1848.6.2.16, Syntype) (Monadjem et al. 2010).
