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: 226 [1–392]. Leiden, 1835–1841.

Valid name: Myotis horsfieldii (Temminck, 1840)

Syntype (marked with type * by Peters): ZMB 2558 View Materials , body in alcohol, skull extracted, female; Java, Indonesia; ex RMNH .

Comment: Jentink (1888: 186) listed five “cotypes” in RMNH from Java , Mt. Gede , coll. Boie; however, Temminck (1840) had named Kuhl & van Hasselt as collectors, given the type locality as the area of Buitenzorg (= Bogor) on Java , and based his description on 14 specimens. ZMB 2558 View Materials is probably a syntype. Tate (1940: 9) recorded four “cotypes” in RMNH, leg. Kuhl & van Hasselt, from Mt. Gédé in Java .
