Scotophilus dinganii: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Distinct from nigrita and leucogaster; see Schlitter et al. (1980) and C. B. Robbins et al. (1985). Includes colias; see C. B. Robbins et al. (1985). Also see Koopman (1975). Many literature records of this species are in error due to taxonomic confusion surrounding these names; see C. B. Robbins et al. (1985). Subspecies are poorly defined
