Carissima {Myotis) Thomas, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 

 13, p. 383, May, 1904. This is the first name applied to the pale 

 subspecies of M. lucifugus inhabiting the semi-arid portions of the 

 western United States (type from Yellowstone Park, Wyo.). The 

 word is intended as an equivalent to the surname of the collector of 

 the type. Darling. (Italian cosa carissima.) 



Carolii (VespertiUo) Temminck, Monogr. de Mamm., vol. 2, p. 237, 

 1840. The description of this bat was based on specimens from 

 Philadelphia and New York. It unquestionably applies to Myotis 

 lucifugus LeConte, 1831. 



Caucensis {Myotis) J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 

 33, p. 386, July 9, 1914. The description is based on a large specimen 

 of M. nig7'icans from Cauca, Colombia. 



Caurinus {Myotis calif or nicubs) Miller, North Amer. Fauna, No. 13, 

 p. 72, October 16, 1897. This is the first name applied to the dark 

 race of M. cdtifoimicus inhabiting the humid northwest coast dis- 

 trict (type from Massett, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia). 



Chiloensis {VespertiUo) Waterhouse, Zool. Voyage H. M, S. Beagle, 

 pt. 2, Mamm., p. 5, pi. 3, 1838. This is the first name given to a 

 rather widely ranging South American species related to Myotic 

 nigricans. The type was from Chiloe Island. 



Chiriquensis {Myotis) J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 

 vol. 20, p. 77, February 29, 1904. As first pointed out by Goldman 

 (Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 69, No. 5, p. 213, April 24, 1920), the 

 shortness of the forearm, which was supposed to distinguish this 

 species from M. nigricans, is an accidental character due to mutila- 

 tion in both wings of the type skin. The specimen (from Chiriqui, 

 Panama) is identical with the Central American bat which we regard 

 as M. nigricans nigricans. 



Chrysonotus {VespertiUo) J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 

 vol. 8, p. 240, November 21, 1896. This name is available in a sub- 

 specific sense for the pale race of Myotis evotis which occupies the 

 greater part of the animal's range. The type was from Sweetwater 

 County, Wyo. 



Ciliolabrum {VespertiUo) Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 

 vol. 4, p. 1, December 7, 1886. Though long considered a form of 

 Myotis caUfomicus, the bat to which this name was applied proves 

 to be the typical race of a distinct species, the animal first described 

 as VespertiUo suhvJatus by Say in 1823 but not clearly recognized 

 until 1918, when its true characters were pointed out by Mrs. Grinnell 

 under the name oHnomus (Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool., vol. 17, p. 290, 

 January 31, 1918). 



Cincinnus {VespertiUo) H. Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 43 

 (1893), p. 97, footnote, March 14, 1895. A misspeUing of co^winnus,
