| The taxonomic history of Scotophilus borbonicus (E. Geoffroy, 1803) from Réunion Island is reviewed and summarised, with the designation of a lectotype. The insular form that it represents is considered conspecific with the small Scotophilus viridis (Peters, 1852) of southern Africa. As a result, Scotophilus borbonicus becomes the valid name for this species, and will also replace Scotophilus leucogaster (Cretzschmar, 1830), if the small members of the genus from more northerly localities in Africa are united with their southern congeners. |

| Although described one hundred and thirty years ago, Vespertilio brachypterus Temminck remains a relatively poorly known species, such references as there are deriving for the most part from the original description or from specimens referred to V. brachypterus without direct comparison with the holotype. Described from Sumatra, the species was subsequently reported from Java by Fitzinger (1861:390) from the collection made during the exploratory voyage of the Austrian frigate "Novara", a report later repeated by Zelebor (1869: 17). Fitzinger (1870:24) gave a further description, as did Dobson (1876:92, 1878:223), who extended the range of the species to the island of Banka, apparently without reference to a specimen or published record.
