Scotonycteris zenkeri
Matschie, 1894: 202
.
Hassanin
et al.
(2015)
reviewed the
Scotonycterini
tribe, which contained four species:
Scotonycteris zenkeri
Matschie, 1894
,
Casinycteris argynnis
Thomas, 1910
,
C. campomaanensis
Hassanin, 2014
, and
C. ophiodon
(Pohle, 1943)
. Their analyses of cytochrome
b
and nuclear DNA revealed that
S. zenkeri
should be split up into four clades representing three species: the extralimital (to CRB)
S. zenkeri
and
S. occidentalis
Hayman, 1947
, and
S. bergmansi
Hassanin
et al.
, 2015
occurring in the rainforests of
Gabon
,
Equatorial Guinea
,
Republic of Congo
, southern
Central African Republic
, and eastern
Democratic Republic of the Congo
.
Hassanin
et al.
(2015)
also found sufficient differences between the population from the western part of the distribution area (
Gabon
to
Central African Republic
) and the eastern part of the
DRC
to recognize two subspecies: the western
S. b.
bergmansi
and the eastern
S. b. congoensis
Hassanin
et al.
, 2015
.
Hayman
et al.
(1966: 21)
reported this species (as
S. zenkeri
) from Beni and Kiloboze (with the erroneous number RMCA 3145), in the extreme eastern part of the
DRC
. The new records extend the occurrence of the species much more to the west, up to the region around Boende in Tshuapa Province.
Kipalu (2009)
reported a specimen of
S. zenkeri
from near Mbanza-Ngungu (Kongo Central Province), but no details were given on voucher specimens.
