SPECIES Myotis albescens
Author: | E. Geoffroy, 1806. | Citation: | Ann. Mus. Natn. Hist. Nat. Paris, 8: 204. | Common Name: | Silver-tipped Myotis | Type Locality: | Paraguay, Paraguari, Yaguaron (of neotype). | Distribution: | S Veracruz (Mexico), Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, Equador, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, N Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | Includes argentatus; see LaVal (1973a). Reviewed in part by López-González et al. (2001). Does not include aenobarbus, which is here placed in Nycticeius following Carter and Dolan (1978); also see Husson (1962). Although I follow Koopman (1993) in listing isidori as a synonym, there are serious problems with idenfication of the holotype; see Carter and Dolan (1978), who suggested that this name might actually belong in Pipistrellus. Does not include mundus; see LaVal (1973a). Apparently closely related to nigricans, levis, and oxyotus; see Ruedi and Mayer (2001). |
