Ariteus Gray, takes precedence for this species over Stenoderma 

 Geoffroy, which is now considered to be represented only by the type 

 S. rufum Geoffroy. The species included in the genus Stenoderma in 

 the Check-List are now placed in the following genera: S. acradophyl- 

 lum in Ariteus as a synonym of A. flavescens Gray as given above, 

 lucia, nichollsi and montserratensis in Ardops, and tolteca l in Arlibeus; 

 leaving only rufum to represent Stenoderma. 



1 This in the Check- List was made a synonym of Dermannra cinereum Gervais.
