Description
Philetor rohui Thomas, 1902
Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (ser. 7) 9: 220. (1 March 1902).
Common name. Rohu’s Bat.
Current name. Philetor brachypterus (Temminck, 1840), following Simmons (2005).
Paratype. M.2562 by subsequent determination. Female adult, body in alc., skull in situ. The M Register entry states “ British New Guinea, collected by Rohu, identified by Oldfield Thomas ”, received from the BM in 1915, and registered in the AM Collection on 19 May 1915. The specimen was identified as Philetor rohui in a letter from Thomas to McCulloch (AM Archives, AMS9 Letters Received, L. 104/1915).
Comments. Thomas (1902) states that 10 specimens were examined including the holotype male, all collected by Mr H. S. Rohu from Albert Edward Ranges [PNG] alt. 6,000 ft. Only six specimens (in addition to the holotype) were registered in the BM (1901.11.24.12–17). The unregistered specimen sent to the AM (M.2563) is from the original series and can be regarded as a paratype (P. Jenkins, BMNH, pers. comm. 18 February 2014).
