First photographed record of the naked-rumped tomb bat, Taphozous nudiventris Cretzschmar, 1830 (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae), in the Grand Maghreb I Taphozous i E. Geoffroy, 1818 is a genus of medium-sized microbats commonly known as the tomb bats. Two species occur in North Africa (Corbet, 1978): the naked-rumped tomb bat ( I Taphozous nudiventris i Cretzschmar, 1,830) and the Egyptian tomb bat ( I Taphozous perforatus i E. Geoffroy, 1818). Nevertheless, the naked-rumped tomb bat remains one of the least recorded and rarest bat species in Algeria, but this may be partly due to the species' low detectability and/or due to the paucity of sampling in Algerian Sahara.
