SPECIES Chalinolobus neocaledonicus
Author: | Revilliod, 1914. | Citation: | In Sarasin and Roux, Nova Caledonia, A. Zool.: 355. | Common Name: | New Caledonia Wattled Bat | Type Locality: | New Caledonia, Canala. | Distribution: | New Caledonia. | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Endangered. | Comments: | Often treated as a subspecies of gouldii (e.g., Koopman, 1971a, 1994; Tidemann, 1986), but evidence for synonymy is weak; I follow Flannery (1995b) in provisionally recognizing neocaledonicus as distinct pending further study. |
