Peropteryx leucoptera
Peters, 1867
Syntypes
:
ZMB 3349
(
two specimens
) and the following uncatalogued specimens with old numbers A 1839, A 1840 (

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.
