Pteropus rufus E. Geoffroy 1803 View in CoL

Pteropus rufus E. Geoffroy 1803 View in CoL , Cat. Mamm. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat., Paris: 47.

Type Locality: Madagascar. Restricted to "N. and C. Madagascar " by K. Andersen (1908).

Vernacular Names: Malagasy Flying Fox.

Synonyms: Pteropus edwardsi E. Geoffroy 1810 ; Pteropus phaiops Temmnick 1825 ; Pteropus princeps K. Andersen 1908 .

Distribution: Madagascar.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II. IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: niger species group. Reviewed by Peterson et al. (1995); also see Bergmans (1990). Some authors have recognized princeps as a subspecies, but this has not been supported in recent analyses; see Bergmans (1990) and Peterson et al. (1995). Because Wilson and Reeder (1993) did not treat names established in E. Geoffroy (1803) as available, Koopman (1993) attributed authorship of rufus to Tiedemann ("1808, Zool., v.1, Allgemeine Zool., Mensch Saugthiere, Landshut, p.535."), but rufus Tiedemann is a junior synonym of niger Kerr ; see Grubb (2001 a) and Opinion 2005 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (2002 b).
