Mormopterus sp.

Material.— QM F30575 (left upper canine) from “Wilkinson’s Quarry”, Chinchilla Rifle Range, Australia, Pliocene.

Remarks.— Hand et al. (1999) described the first bat from Chinchilla, a species of Mormopterus , and referred the specimen, QM F30575 (canine), to the genus. The registration number QM F30575 has also inadvertently been assigned to two different fossil bats: a maxilla of Hipposideros winsburyorum ( Hand and Godthelp 1999) and an isolated molar of Icarops aenae ( Hand et al. 2005) ; both fossils are from Pleistocene and Miocene sites, respectively, of Riversleigh. An erratum is currently being prepared by Sue Hand (personal communication 2015) to correct the registration discrepancy.
