Scotophilus nux: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Often treated as a subspecies of dinganii or leucogaster (or nigrita, when that name was misapplied to the former species), see G. M. Allen (1939), Rosevear (1965), and Hayman and Hill (1971), Koopman et al. (1978) and Koopman (1994). However, nux appears to be distinct from all of the above species; see C. B. Robbins et al. (1985)
