Lasiurus borealis (Müller, 1776) View in CoL View at ENA . Linné's Vollstand. Natursystem, Suppl., p. 20.

TYPE LOCALITY: USA, New York .

DISTRIBUTION: Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil to C Canada; Jamaica; Cuba; Hispaniola; Puerto Rico; Bermuda; Bahamas; Trinidad and Tobago; Galapagos ( Ecuador).

SYNONYMS: blossevillii , bonariensis , brachyotis , degelidus , enslenii, frantzii , funebris, minor , lasiurus, monachus, noveboracensis, ornatus , pfeifferi , quebecensis, rubellus, rubra , rufus , salinae , teliotis, tesselatus, varius .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Lasiurus . Includes degelidus , minor , pfeifferi , blossevillii ; see Varona (1974:36), but see also Baker et al. (1988a). Includes brachyotis ; see Niethammer (1964:595). See Shump and Shump (1982a, Mammalian Species, 183). While there is evidence that more than one species is involved in this complex, the true picture is still far from clear. Until it is better resolved, keeping all the named forms together seems preferable to a premature split.
