Temminck, C. J. (1840) Monographies de mammalogie, ou Description de quelques genres de mammifères, dont les espèces ont été observées dans les différens musées de l'Europe. Tome 2: 233 [1–392]. Leiden, 1835–1841.

Valid name: Pipistrellus abramus (Temminck, 1838)

Syntypes: ZMB 2568 View Materials [a–b] (two specimens), bodies in alcohol, skulls extracted, male and female, adults; Japan; collected by Siebold, ex RMNH.

Comment: According to Jentink (1888: 180) there were six “types” of V. akokomuli at the RMNH, of which one specimen collected by Siebold had come from Nagasaki, Japan, while the other five specimens, also from Japan, were without any further data. The two specimens, ZMB 2568 View Materials [a–b], agree with the data mentioned for the RMNH specimens and are probably syntypes since no holotype was designated .
