Scotophilus leucogaster
(Cretzschmar, 1826)
.
In
Ruppell, Atlas Reise Nordl. Afr., Saugeth., P- 71
.
TYPE LOCALITY:
Sudan
, Kordofan Region, Brunnen Nedger (Nedger Well)
.
DISTRIBUTION:
Mauritania
and
Senegal
to N.
Kenya
and
Ethiopia
; south to
South Africa
.
COMMENT: Includes
damarensis.
For scope of this species see
Koopman, 1975
, Bull. Am.
Mus
. Nat. Hist., 154:414-416 (as
nigrita
)
and
Koopman
et al.,
1978
, Am.
Mus
. Novit., 2643:4-5. However, Robbins, 1978, J. Mammal., 59:212-213, has shown that the name
nigrita
was misapplied to another species, for which the next available name was
dinganii
,
and which would be included in
leucogaster
if
Koopman's (1975)
reasoning were followed. However,
Schlitter
et al.,
1980
, Ann. Transvaal
Mus
., 32:231-239, listed
dinganii
as distinct from
leucogaster
,
as does CBR. Also see comment under
borbonicus
.
