Small restricted populations. Some question about actual numbers due to fluctuating counts: LMNP latest population count estimated at 1400 (UWA 2012). Lamprey estimated LMNP 273 (1995), 88 (1996), 285 (1997), 1442 (1998), 199 (1999), 28 (2002), 606 (2006). KVNP estimated at 28, June 2014 (300 in 1967-72). Previously recorded for Katonga and West Madi, and other areas, now not expected to be present.

Assessment rationale/justification
New sightings for Uganda 1990s in caves in Tororo More recent sighting in Aleklek (2006). No other records for Uganda. Cave and cavity roosting bats, where they may concentrate in large numbers, but because of the specialized roosting requirements could see large population destroyed by roost site destruction or alteration. Lime quarrying and considerable other mining activities in Tororo likely to affect habitat.
