Known Sulawesian Rhinolophus belong to three species: R. philippinensis Waterhouse, 1843, R. celebensis Andersen, 1905, and R. tatar n. sp., described in this paper. Sulawesian records of R. euryotis Temminck, 1835, by Tate & Archbold (1939) are based on misidentifications.

Taxonomy and zoogeography of Dobsonia Palmer, 1898, from the Louisiade Archipelago, the D’Entrecasteaux Group, Trobriand Island and Woodlark Island (Mammalia, Megachiroptera)

Ano: 1982

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504274

A lectotype is selected — and its skull figured, for the first time — for Dobsonia pannietensis (De Vis, 1905), which is considered to be a good species. Specimens have been examined from the Louisiades, the D’Entrecasteaux Group, Trobriand Island and Woodlark Island. The species varies per island or island group in dimensions and/or proportions. The skull of the holotype of Dobsonia remota Cabrera, 1920, is figured — also for the first time. The possible synonymy of this species with D. pannietensis is discussed. The holotype, from Trobriand, is still the only known specimen. Specimens from Bougainville, Solomon Islands, referred to remota by McKean (1972), are in fact juvenile Dobsonia inermis Andersen, 1909.

Taxonomy and biogeography of African fruit bats (Mammalia, Megachiroptera). 3. The genera Scotonycteris Matschie, 1894, Casinycteris Thomas, 1910, Pteropus Brisson, 1762, and Eidolon Rafinesque, 1815

Ano: 1979

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505232

The genera Scotonycteris Matschie, 1894, Casinycteris Thomas, 1910, Pteropus Brisson, 1762 and Eidolon Rafinesque, 1815 are characterized. An effort is made to assess the possible relationship between the genera Scotonycteris and Casinycteris. Within Scotonycteris zenkeri Matschie, 1894 a number of geographically disjunct or probably disjunct and morphologically distinct population groups are recognized. The available material of Scotonycteris ophiodon Pohle, 1943 suggests that this species may also consist of a number of geographically disjunct and possibly morphologically distinguishable groups. Its distribution shadows that of S. zenkeri. The genus Casinycteris and the nature and function of its peculiarly shortened bony palate are discussed, in...

Bat records from Malawi (Mammalia, Chiroptera)

Ano: 1990

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504806

Bergmans, Wim; Jachmann, Hugo.

Five species of bats are recorded from Kasungu National Park, Malawi: Eidolon helvum (Kerr, 1792); Epomophorus anurus Heuglin, 1864; Epomophorus minor Dobson, 1880; Epomops dobsonii (Bocage, 1889); and Scotoecus hindei Thomas, 1901. Some other Malawian records of these species, based on literature and specimens in collections, have been included. Epomophorus anurus, Epomops dobsonii and Scotoeous hindei are recorded from Malawi for the first time.

Taxonomy and biogeography of African fruit bats (Mammalia, Megachiroptera). 4. The genus Rousettus Gray, 1821

Ano: 1983

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505477

The concept of the genus Rousettus Gray, 1821 as established by Andersen (1912) is revised to accommodate R. madagascariensis Grandidier, 1929, R. obliviosus Kock, 1978 and R. spinalatus Bergmans & Hill, 1980, and to reflect the following mutations. Following Bergmans et al. (1988), the genus Boneia, Jentink, 1879 is treated as a synonym of Rousettus, which adds to that genus the species B. bidens Jentink, 1879. The subgenus Stenonycteris Andersen, 1912 is considered a synonym of Rousettus, and the subgenus Lissonycteris Andersen, 1912 a full genus, to be reviewed in the next part of this series. All African Rousettus species are characterized and their distributions, including many new records, and geographical variation are analyzed. Following...

Noteworthy extensions of known ranges of three African Fruit Bat species (Mammalia, Megachiroptera)

Ano: 1994

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504907

True Nanonycteris veldkampii (Jentink, 1888) is recorded from the Central African Republic for the first time. The disputed occurrence of Epomops buettikoferi (Matschie, 1899) in Nigeria is confirmed. Rousettus lanosus Thomas, 1906, is added to the faunal list of Sudan.

Taxonomy and biogeography of African fruit bats (Mammalia, Megachiroptera). 5. The genera Ussonycteris Andersen, 1912, Myonycteris Matschie, 1899 and Megaloglossus Pagenstecher, 1885; general remarks and conclusions; annex: key to all species

Ano: 1982

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505544

This is the last part in a series comprising all Megachiroptera known from mainland Africa and its islands. The concept of the genus Lissonycteris Andersen, 1912 is reviewed and adapted. For the first time, its differential characters vis-à-vis the genera Rousettus Gray, 1821, and Myonycteris Matschie, 1899 as described in the literature have been checked against material of all the species involved. As a consequence, a number of these characters are considered of no taxonomic value and have not been retained, while some new differential characters are described. Lissonycteris and Myonycteris are considered different from Rousettus on generic level, while Lissonycteris and Myonycteris are more closely related to one another than each of these to Rousettus....

Fruit Bats of the genus Dobsonia Palmer, 1898 from the Islands of Biak, Owii, Numfoor and Yapen, Irian Java (Mammalia, Megachiroptera)

Ano: 1997

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504952

Bergmans, Wim; Sarbini, Sukaeri.

Dobsonia minor (Dobson, 1879) and D. magna Thomas, 1905 are recorded from Yapen Island for the first time. D. beauforti Bergmans, 1975 is recorded from Biak and Owii Islands; hitherto, it was known from Waigeo only. Dobsonia emersa n. sp. is described from Biak and Owii Islands. A possibly related taxon is reported from Numfoor Island. The taxonomy of Dobsonia species belonging to the moluccensis group sensu Andersen, 1909 is briefly discussed.

Notes on distribution and taxonomy of australasian bats. I. Pteropodinae and Nyctimeninae (Mammalia, Megachiroptera, Pteropodidae)

Ano: 1985

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505184

Hitherto unreported australasian Pteropodinae and Nyctimeninae from the collections of the Zoölogisch Museum in Amsterdam and some important samples of Nyctimeninae from the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum (formerly: Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie) in Leiden are reported and discussed. The published first occurrence of Pteropus vampyrus on Krakatau Islands after the last eruption is preceded by a specimen found there eight years earlier. The fruit bat material collected on Buru Island by L.J. Toxopeus in 1921-1922, as far as deposited in Amsterdam, is reported for the first time. New localities are reported for Pteropus griseus griseus, P. personatus, P. tonganus geddiei, P. caniceps, Macroglossus minimus nanus, Syconycteris australis papuana,...

Taxonomy and biogeography of African Fruit Bats (Mammalia, Megachiroptera). 1. General introduction; material and methods; results: the genus Epomophorus Bennett, 1836

Ano: 2001

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505093

This first part of a revision of African fruit bats contains a short general Introduction and a section Materials and Methods, both pertaining to all parts — as are the first remarks under Results —, and a study of the genus Epomophorus Bennett, 1836. Prior important descriptions of Epomophorus are reviewed and current concepts of the generic characters relative rostrum length; relative palatal length; depression of postdental palate; palatal ridge pattern; and sexual dimorphism are modified. Of all problematical taxa within the genus type specimens have been examined. The following six species are retained: Epomophorus angolensis Gray, 1870; E. gambianus (Ogilby, 1835); E. grandis (Sanborn, 1950); E. labiatus (Temminck, 1837); E. minor Dobson, 1880; E....

First records of Dobsonia minor (Dobson, 1879) from Sulawesi, Indonesia (Mammalia, Megachiroptera)

Ano: 1988

Boeadi; Bergmans, Wim.

A fruit bat collected recently in Central Sulawesi is assigned to Dobsonia minor (Dobson, 1879), hitherto only known from New Guinea and a few smaller, adjacent islands. The species’ distribution is reviewed and discussed.

Taxonomy and biogeography of African fruit bats (Mammalia, Megachiroptera). 2. The genera Micropteropus Matschie, 1899, Epomops Gray, 1870, Hypsignathus H. Allen, 1861, Nanonycteris Matschie, 1899, and Plerotes Andersen, 1910

Ano: 1987

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505399

The genera Micropteropus Matschie, 1899, Epomops Gray, 1870, Hypsignathus H. Allen, 1861, Nanonycteris Matschie, 1899 and Plerotes Andersen, 1910 and the species assigned to them are reviewed. All the currently recognized taxa are maintained except subspecific partitions in Epomops franqueti (Tomes, 1860). The known characters are reviewed and discussed, and new characters presented, and their possible taxonomical implications mentioned. Of the skull characters traditionally used to distinguish Micropteropus from Epomophorus Bennett, 1836 relative rostrum length, relative zygomatic width and the form of the postdental palate are found to be rather in line with the tendencies in that genus. The palatal ridges in both species of Micropteropus are less...
