Description
Rhinolophus affinis HORSFIELD, 1823
In the original description of the species HORSFIELD (1823) indicated no type specimen. Beside a specimen (labelled as holotype) stored in the BM(NH), JENTINK (1887) listed two more specimens in the RMNH, Leiden marked as types. However, the two RMNH individuals (RMNH 25236, cat. ost. b and RMNH 25237,
cat. ost. c) represented by skulls only, proved to be Hipposideros larvatus. The possible reason of the confusion should be the fact, that HORSFIELD worked with the two species in question at the same time (the descriptions appeared in the same book). Since there was no holotype designation in HORSFIELD's work, these three specimens are regarded as syntypes; consequently, the BM(NH) specimen (No. 79.11.21.70) as the only R. affinis is designated herein as lectotype.
