SPECIES Rhinopoma hardwickii
| Author: | Gray, 1831. | | Citation: | Zool. Misc., 1: 37. | | Common Name: | Lesser Mouse-tailed Bat | | Type Locality: | India, resticted to Bengal by Qumsiyeh et al. (1992). | | Distribution: | Morocco to Burma, south to Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Kenya; Socotra Isl (Yemen). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | See Qumsiyeh and Jones (1986), Harrison and Bates (1991), and Kock et al. (2001). Does not include macinnesi; see Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1994). Sometimes spelled hardwickei (because the species was named after Major General Hardwicke), but the original spelling is hardwickii (see Kock et al., 2001). I follow Corbet and Hill (1992) and Kock et al. (2001) in using the original spelling. |
