. Bill was well known amongst colleagues for his vivacious manner and enthusiasm, curatorial skills, and knowledge on African mammals. He readily shared specimens in collaborative projects with numerous colleagues. With his passing, mammalogy has lost a passionate field biologist and museum curator. We propose the English common name “Stanleys serotine” and in French “sérotine de Stanley”.

Reports in the literature of external measurements derived from various field collectors display considerable variation associated with different measurement techniques. This problem is further confounded by certain species of Afro-Malagasy bats, in this case small vespertilionids, which include cryptic species showing convergence in morphological characters, further emphasizing the importance in certain cases for identifications to be based on molecular data (e.g.,

). The tip is short, and broad at the distal edge, which is also slightly concave. There appears to be intraspecific variation in the development of lateral flanges forming distal notches, or possibly these delicate projections were inadvertently cleared during preparation of the baculum, being more apparent in NMZL ES-114/2010 than TM 48487. The slender shaft is transversely concave and evenly wide from proximal to distal ends. In lateral profile the shaft is either straight (TM 48487) or flexed from the vertical plane (NMZL ES-114/2010). The proximal base expands away from the narrower shaft in the dorsal and lateral planes forming flanges that curve around from the lateral edges into the ventral plane creating a concave opening. The proximal edge is even on the dorsal and lateral sides, and slightly ventrally deflected.
