Epomophorus labiatus minor
(Dobson, 1880)
.
Happold (2013a)
followed
Claessen & De Vree (1991)
in considering
minor
to be a junior synonym of
Epomophorus labiatus
. She also pointed out that
Bergmans (1997)
was strongly opposed to this, as he pointed out a number errors concerning the
E. labiatus
specimens used by
Claessen & De Vree (1991)
.
The distribution map shows that the specimens from the eastern part from the
DRC
fit well with the major (eastern African) distribution area of the species. The specimen from
Congo
da Lemba (RMCA 408a, a juvenile male) does seem to fit with a potential distribution along the Angolan coast, which, however, is not yet supported by material from that country (
ACR 2016
).
