C. H. (1867b) Über die zu den Gattungen Mimon und Saccopteryx gehörigen Flederthiere. Monatsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin , 1867: 474 [469–481]. Valid name: Peropteryx leucoptera Peters, 1867 Syntypes : ZMB 3349 ( two specimens ) and the following uncatalogued specimens with old numbers A 1839, A 1840 ( two specimens ), A 3982 ( three specimens ), A 4208 ( three specimens ), specimen “A” and specimen “B”; all bodies in alcohol, with skulls extracted (one of ZMB 3349 is missing); Suriname ; collected by Kappler. Comment: Although Dobson (1878: 375) mentioned “ type ” in the ZMB, Carter & Dolan (1978: 21) could not find specimens collected by Kappler at the ZMB. However, Husson (1962: 54) recorded two males (one as ZMB A 1840 and one as A 4208) and six females (A 1839, A 4208, ZMB 3349 ( two specimens ) and “A” and “B”). In our investigation we found two specimens of A 1840 and three specimens each of A 4208 an A 3982. Proboscidea saxatilis SPIX, 1823 Spix, J.B. von (1823) Simiarum et Vespertilionum Brasiliensium species novae: 62 [1–72]. Valid name: Rhynchonycteris naso (Wied-Neuwied, 1820) Syntype : ZMB 3058 , body in alcohol, skull extracted, female adult; Mucuri bank, Minas Geraes, Brazil ; collected by Spix , ca. 1820, ex ZSM. Comment: This syntype was cited as ZMB 3085 by Carter & Dolan (1978: 16) , which is a typing error. According to the general catalogue its correct catalogue number is ZMB 3058 . Further syntypes are in ZSM (Nr. 22/50, a skin without the skull extracted) and RMNH (17643).
