SPECIES Triaenops auritus
Author: | Grandidier, 1912. | Citation: | Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, 18: 8. | Common Name: | Grandidier's Trident Bat | Type Locality: | Madagascar, near Diégo-Suarez (=Antsiranana). | Distribution: | Known only from the type locality. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Data Deficient. | Comments: | Known only from the holotype. Often included in furculus (e.g., Hayman and Hill, 1971; Koopman, 1993, 1994), but see Peterson et al. (1995). Originally spelled aurita but emended to auritus by Peterson et al. (1995), presumably to agree in gender with the generic epithet. |
