Nycteris
major
(
Andersen, 1912
)
.
Hayman
et al.
(1966: 36)
only mention the
type
specimen of
N. avakubia
as representative of
N. major
in the
DRC
. However, on map 32, they have two dots, and neither of them refers to the
type
locality of
avakubia
, which is Avakubi (Tshopo Province). The two dots seem to refer to the two AMNH specimens reported by
Allen (1917: 427)
as belonging to
N. major
(49399 from the Garamba National Park and 49422 from Faradje), but of which
Koopman (1965: 6)
indicated that they actually belong to
N. macrotis
.
Koopman (1965)
furthermore refers to two additional specimens reported by
Schouteden (1947)
: one from Macaco (Kasaï Province; reported for the first time by
Kershaw 1923
) and one from Boma (Kongo Central Province). These specimens were re-identified by
Hayman
et al.
(1966: 35)
and
Van Cakenberghe & De Vree (1985: 80)
as
N. macrotis
.
