SPECIES Myotis moluccarum
| Author: | Thomas, 1915. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15: 170. | | Common Name: | Maluku Myotis | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Maluku Tenggara, Kei (=Kai) Isls, Ara. | | Distribution: | Ambon and Kai Isls (Moluccas), N and W Australia, Seram, Waigeo Isl (West Palua, Indonesia), Papua New Guinea, Bismarck Arch., Solomon Isls. | | Status: | IUCN 2003 – Not evaluated; not considered in IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001). | | Comments: | Distinct from adversus and macropus; see Kitchener et al. (1995b), who revised this complex. Also see Flannery (1995b) and Bonaccorso (1998). Includes Anamygdon solomonis Troughton, 1929; see Phillips and Birney (1968) and Kitchener et al. (1995b). Kitchener et al. (1995b) tentatively retained solomonis as a synonym of M. moluccarum moluccarum, but morphological differences suggest that it is best considered as a distinct subspecies. |
