New Species Of Scotophilus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) From Sub-Saharan Africa
Listed in GBIF
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Brooks, Daniel M., Bickham, John W. (2014): New Species Of Scotophilus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) From Sub-Saharan Africa.
Description
Occasional Papers of the Museum 326, No. 326: 1-24, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15748542 ABSTRACT A previous phylogenetic study of bats of the genus Scotophilus (house bats) showed deep subdivisions and paraphyletic relationships among populations of S. dinganii (four distinct clades) and S. viridis (two distinct clades).
According to the genetic species concept, these clades may represent distinct species. Herein, we assess morphological differences of specimens of four clades representing hypothesized unrecognized species compared to specimens of nominate S. dinganii and S. viridis. Statistically significant morphological differences provided characters for accurate diagnosis of each clade.

Therefore we recognize and formally describe four new species of sub-Saharan African Scotophilus (Scotophilus andrewreborii sp. nov., Scotophilus livingstonii sp. nov., Scotophilus ejetai sp. nov., and Scotophilus trujilloi sp. nov.). Key words: Africa, African house bat, cryptic species, phylogeny, Scotophilus, Vespertilionidae
