Hipposideros Templetonii Kelaart, 1850 View in CoL
Kelaart, E.F. (1850) Description of new species and varieties of mammals found in Ceylon. Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 2: 208 [208–215].
Valid name: Hipposideros speoris (Schneider, 1800)
Referred specimen (marked with type *): ZMB 2493 View Materials , body in alcohol and ZMB 85623, skull and skeleton [of ZMB 2493 View Materials ]; Sri Lanka; collector unknown; purchased from Pareiss .
Comment: Although ZMB 2493 View Materials is erroneously listed as Phyllorhina Templetoni Fitzinger , it was described by Kelaart (1850), who appears to have based the description on several specimens. Tate (1941b: 390) mentioned two “cotypes”: BMNH 1852.1 . 24.2 and 1852.1.24.4. Since ZMB 2493 View Materials was purchased from Pareiss it is very doubtful that it was part of the type series, and hence should not be considered a type. The ZMB specimen tag is also inaccurately labelled “ ZMB 2443 View Materials ” .
