| Author: | Miller, 1902. | | Citation: | Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 15: 246. | | Common Name: | Northern Mastiff Bat | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Prov. of Papua, Tjenderawasih Div. [= Geelvinck Bay], Yapen Isl [= Jobi Isl], Ansus. | | Distribution: | Seram (Moluccas), Yapen Isl (Indonesia), New Guinea, N and C Australia. | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | plicatus species group. Listed as a subspecies of plicatus by Laurie and Hill (1954), but subsequently recognized as distinct by most authors. Revised by Felten (1964a), who included bregullae and solomonis; also see Hill (1983). In contrast, Flannery (1995a, b) treated bregullae and solomonis as distinct species based on morphological differences. The latter arrangement is provisionally followed here. |
