Epomophorus wahlbergi Sundevall 1846 View in CoL

Epomophorus wahlbergi Sundevall 1846 View in CoL , Ofv. K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Forhandl. Stockholm, Vol. 3, 4: 118.

Type Locality: South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal Prov., near Durban.

Vernacular Names: Wahlberg's Epauletted Fruit Bat.

Synonyms: Epomophorus haldemani Hallowell 1846 ; Epomophorus neumanni Matschie 1899 ; Epomophorus stuhlmanni Matschie 1899 ; Epomophorus unicolor Gray 1870 ; Epomophorus zenkeri Matschie 1899 .

Distribution: Cameroon to Sudan and Somalia, south to Malawi, Angola, and South Africa; Pemba and Zanzibar Isls. A Liberian record is probably erroneous ( Koopman, 1993), and Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea records are of uncertain validity (Bergmans, 1988).

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

Discussion: wahlbergi species group. Revised by Bergmans (1988), and reviewed in part by Volpers and Kumirai (1996); also see Acharya (1992). For an updated distribution map see Taylor (2000 a). Some authors have recognized haldemani as a distinct subspecies, but this arrangement does not seem to be justified, see discussion in Bergmans (1988).
