Triaenops furculus Trouessart 1906

Description

Triaenops furculus Trouessart 1906

Triaenops furculus Trouessart 1906, Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. Paris, 1906 (7): 446.

Type Locality: Madagascar, near Tulear (= Toliara), St. Augustine Bay, Grotte de Sarondrano.

Vernacular Names: Trouessart's Trident Bat.

Synonyms: Triaenops furinea Tate 1941.

Distribution: N and W Madagascar, Aldabra and Cosmoledo Isls (Seychelles).

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Does not includes auritus; see Peterson et al. (1995), but also see Hayman and Hill (1971). Originally spelled furcula but emended to furculus by Hill (1982), presumably to agree in gender with the generic epithet. May include furinea Tate, 1941, possibly a lapsus for furcula (see discussion in Hill, 1982).
