Authors/Creators
Description
Scotophilus borbonicus (E. Geoffroy, 1806). Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, 8:201.
TYPE LOCALITY: Reunion Isl. (France).
DISTRIBUTION: Madagascar; Reunion Isl.
COMMENT: Included in leucogaster by Hayman and Hill, 1971, Part 2:50- 51; but see Koopman, 1975, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 154:414-416. Hill, 1980, Zool. Meded., Leiden, 55:287-295, considered African viridis and damarensis, and possibly leucogaster to be conspecific with borbonicus, but Robbins et al., in press, rejected any affinity with African mainland species. May be extinct; see Cheke and Dahl, 1981, Mammalia, 45: 217, who also pointed out that records from Mauritius are erroneus. Also see comment under leucogaster.
