Research on bats (Chiroptera) from the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil: annotated species list and bibliographic review

“…I included the recently described Eptesicus taddeii Miranda, Bernardi & Passos, 2006a and Lonchophylla peracchii, Dias, Esbérard & Moratelli, 2013. Natalus macrourus (Gervais, 1856a) is considered valid, instead of Natalus espiritosantensis (Ruschi, 1951), following Garbino & Tejedor (2013) and Platyrrhinus incarum (Thomas, 1912) is used instead of Platyrrhinus helleri, following Velazco et al (2010b). Thyroptera tricolor Spix, 1823 is tentatively adopted here, since the form from São Paulo may represent a distinct taxon for which the valid name would be Thyroptera juquiaensis (Gregorin et al, 2006.…”

Checklist of Brazilian bats, with comments on original records

“…Wagner, instead of J. Natterer, as the authority for this species. 28 The name Natalus macrourus has priority over the name Natalus espiritosantensis (see Garbino and Tejedor 2012). 29 We followed Eger (2008) in referring to the year of availability of the name Dysopes abrasus (= Cynomops abrasus) as 1826, instead of 1827.…”

“…We ranked Dermanura at the genus level (Hoofer et al (2008:9) and recognized Dermanura bogotensis (Lim et al 2008a), Platyrrhinus incarum (Velazco et al 2010), Histiotus alienus, and H. laephotis (Barquez and Díaz 2001;Simmons 2005) at the species level. We treated populations of Natalus south of the Amazon River as Natalus macrourus replacing the names N. stramineus or N. espiritosantensis for those populations (Garbino and Tejedor 2012). Finally, for the attribution of authorship and date of species descriptions, we disagree from Gardner (2008) Table 1).…”
