(1823) Verzeichnis der Doubletten des zoologischen Museums der Königlichen Universität zu Berlin . Berlin , p. 4 [1–118]. Valid name: partly Rhinolophus capensis Lichtenstein, 1823 ; partly Rhinolophus clivosus Cretzschmar, 1828 . Lectotype (here designated): ZMB 377 , skin and skull (damaged), juvenile; “Cap” = Cape of Good Hope, Cape Peninsula, Western Cape Province , South Africa ; collected by Krebs , 1822. Paralectotypes : ZMB 376 , skin and skull, adult; Cape of Good Hope , leg. Bergius. ZMB 378 , skin and skull, adult; Cape of Good Hope, leg. Mundt & Maire , 1818. Comment: R. capensis was described by Lichtenstein (1823) in the doublet register. Two additional specimens (donated by Krebs 1822/1823, and by Mund & Maire 1818/1819) had been considered as “surplus” and may have been sold to an unknown collection. No holotype was designated, thus the remaining three specimens of the original series are syntypes . Karl Koopman examined these specimens and concluded that ZMB 376 and ZMB 378 are Rhinolophus clivosus Cretzschmar 1828 and only the juvenile specimen ZMB 377 represents the species R. capensis . For nomenclatural stability we designate ZMB 377 as lectotype .
