 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN/SSC Action Plan (1992) - Not Threatened as Epomophorus gambianus crypturus. IUCN 2003 - Not listed  
    Comments: gambianus species group. Often included in gambianus (e.g., Bergmans, 1988, 1997), but see Claessen and De Vree (1990). Genetic studies and more collecting in the gap between the ranges of crypturus and gambianus may be necessary to more completely resolve the relationship of these taxa
