SPECIES Galeopterus variegates

Author:Audebert, 1799.
Citation:Hist Nat. Singes Makis, sig. Rr. Java.
Common Name:Sunda Flying Lemur
Type Locality:Indonesia, Java
Distribution:Indochina to Java (Indonesia), Borneo, and most associated islands.
Status:IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Cynocephalus variegatus.
Comments:Cabrera (1925) gave Geoffroy (1796) as the author of this nomen. I was unable to locate this reference. However, reading Geoffroy (1803) suggests that he only used French common names for this species in 1796. Desmarest (1820) supported this interpretation. Also, Cabrera (1925) listed G. marmoratus (Temminck, 1829) as a synonym of G. variegatus. I was unable to locate this description. Not listed in Sherborn (1927, 1931), not contained in Temminck (1824-1841). Desmarest (1820) incorrectly gave the localities of G. rufus and G. ternatensis as Pelew Isl and Ternate respectively. Here, these nomina are synonomized with G. variegatus because the descriptions in Desmarest (1820) seem closer to this species, and because his plate 22, fig. 2, illustrates an animal with the characteristically narrow rostrum of G. variegatus. Chasen and Kloss (1929a) described G. v. terutaus and G. v. perhentianus as subspecies. See Chasen and Kloss (1929b), Chasen (1940), Corbet and Hill (1992), and Stafford and Szalay (2000).
