Vespertilio pulveratus Peters, 1871

Peters, W. C. H. (1871) In Swinhoe, R.: Catalogue of the mammals of China (south of the River Yangtse) and of the Island of Formosa. Proceedings of the zoological Society of London, 1871 [for 1870]: 618 [615–653]; London. Bats submitted to W. Peters, who supplied names and descriptions of n.sp.

Valid name: Hypsugo pulveratus ( Peters, 1871)

Lectotype (designated by Pohle 1943: 323): ZMB 4144 View Materials , skin and skull (fragments), male; Amoy (= Xiamen), Fukien (= Fujian), China; collected by Swinhoe, July 1867, donated by Swinhoe between 20 March and 14 April 1870.

Paralectotype (same data as the lectotype): ZMB 4145, skin and skull (fragments), male.

Comment: Peters (1871) made no holotype designation and described this species from several specimens, including ZMB 4144, ZMB 4145, and a third specimen in the BMNH. Pohle (1943: 323) was of the opinion that Dobson’s (1878: 219) “type” designation of a specimen in the BMNH was unjustified, as the type designation was for a [syntype] specimen “e” (skin), purchased from R. Swinhoe after Peters had described the species and published the name.
