Vespertilio View in CoL parvulus Temminck, 1840

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: 246 [1–392]. Leiden, 1835–1841.

Valid name: Myotis nigricans (Schinz, 1821)

Referred specimen (marked with type *): ZMB 2475 View Materials , skin, skull not extracted; Brazil; collected by J. Natterer, presumably ex NMW .

Comment: Natterer collected eight specimens (Pelzeln 1883: 45) of which Temminck received three, which he used for description of Vespertilio parvulus. One of them remained in the RMNH [17621] (Jentink 1888: 191) which Husson (1962: 210) fixed as lectotype. The other two specimens returned to Wien ( NMW): According to Barbara Herzig (pers. comm.) the two paralectotype specimens are NMW 28361 and NMW 28362, both are in alcohol, the skulls were extracted in 1980, and both are from Cuyaba, Mato Grosso, Brazil, collected by J. Natterer, between 1823 and 1825. The ZMB specimen ( ZMB 2475 View Materials ) presumably originated from the series of the other five specimens collected by Natterer, and therefore is not a type specimen of V. parvulus .
