Vespertilio akokomuli
Temminck, 1840
Temminck, C. J. (1840) Monographies de mammalogie, ou Description de quelques genres de mammifères, dont les espèces ont été observées dans les différens musées de l'Europe. Tome 2: 233 [1–392]. Leiden, 1835–1841.
Valid name:
Pipistrellus abramus
(Temminck, 1838)
Syntypes
:
ZMB 2568
[a–b] (
two specimens
), bodies in alcohol, skulls extracted, male and female, adults;
Japan
; collected by
Siebold
, ex
RMNH.
Comment: According to
Jentink (1888: 180)
there were six “types” of
V. akokomuli
at the
RMNH
, of which
one specimen
collected by
Siebold
had come from
Nagasaki
,
Japan
, while the other
five specimens
, also from
Japan
, were without any further data. The
two specimens
,
ZMB 2568
[a–b], agree with the data mentioned for the
RMNH
specimens and are probably
syntypes
since no
holotype
was designated
.
