Rhinolophus Borneensis Peters, 1861

Peters, W. C. H. (1861) Über die von Hrn. F. Jagor bisher auf Malacca, Borneo, Java und den Philippinen gesammelten Säugethiere aus den Ordnungen der Halbaffen, Pelzflatterer und Flederthiere. Monatsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1861: 709 [706–713].

Valid name: Rhinolophus borneensis Peters, 1861

Syntypes: ZMB 2533 (two specimens, split by Csorba 2002 into 2533.1 and 2533.2), bodies in alcohol, skulls extracted (fragments); “Labuan” = Labuhan, W-Java, Indonesia; collected by F. Jagor, between 1857 and 1861 .

Comment: Until recently these two syntypes were labelled “ Rhinolophus minor , type, Labuan, Java ” ( Csorba 2002), and considered by this author (p. 221) as “types”. However, in Csorba (2002: legend fig. 3 ) ZMB 2533.1 is erroneously called “ holotype ” instead of possibly a lectotype, which is not formally designated in Csorba.
