Boone Vol. 1 Valid name: Rhinonicteris aurantia (Gray, 1845) Presumably Syntype : ZMB 3983 , body in alcohol, skull extracted, male; Port Essington , N-Australia; presumably collected by Sibbald , donated by Gray, ex BMNH . Comment: In the general catalogue ZMB 3983 is marked with a type * by Peters and annotated as “Ex. orig. [original specimen] Rhinolophus aurantius Gray ”. Further syntypes are in the RMNH and MNHN , and an assumed holotype is in the BMNH (1845.5.13.3). However , Gray did not designate a holotype ; instead, the description by Gray (1845: 405) is based on several specimens, at least one male and one female .
