Treatment

Scotophilus leucogaster (Cretzschmar, 1826) View in CoL View at ENA . In Ruppell, Atlas Reise Nordl. Afr., Saugeth., P- 71.

TYPE LOCALITY: Sudan, Kordofan Region, Brunnen Nedger (Nedger Well) .

DISTRIBUTION: Mauritania and Senegal to N. Kenya and Ethiopia; south to South Africa.

COMMENT: Includes damarensis. For scope of this species see Koopman, 1975, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 154:414-416 (as nigrita ) and Koopman et al., 1978, Am. Mus. Novit., 2643:4-5. However, Robbins, 1978, J. Mammal., 59:212-213, has shown that the name nigrita was misapplied to another species, for which the next available name was dinganii , and which would be included in leucogaster if Koopman's (1975) reasoning were followed. However, Schlitter et al., 1980, Ann. Transvaal Mus., 32:231-239, listed dinganii as distinct from leucogaster , as does CBR. Also see comment under borbonicus .

ISIS NUMBER: 5301405014023005001.
