Hipposideros diadema trobrius Troughton, 1937c View in CoL View at ENA

Aust. Zool. 8(4): 276. (12 March 1937).

Common name. Diadem Leaf-nosed Bat.

Current name. Hipposideros diadema trobrius Troughton, 1937c ; following Simmons (2005).

Holotype. M.5181 by original designation. Male, skull, study skin ( Figs 54–55 View Figure 54 View Figure 55 ), collected and presented by Mr A. J. Vogan, registered 21 September 1931. Collection date not given, assumed to be 1931.

Condition. Cranium complete; left dentary missing coronoid process, right dentary complete. Study skin: faded and with two bald patches on abdominal area. The specimen is tied to cardboard with its ventral side visible.

Type locality. Kiriwina Island (Trobriand Islands), Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea.

Paratype. M.5182 by original designation. Male, body in alc., same data as holotype.

Comments. Type series appears to be two specimens. Kitchener et al. (1992) consider that H. diadema subspecies from Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands require revision, and that smaller forms including trobrius are not closely related to H. d. diadema (É. Geoffroy, 1813) or H. d. reginae.
