AMERICAN BATS OF THE GENERA MYOTIS AND PIZONYX 19 



here used inadvertently no doubt, but appearing in the index as well 

 ;as in the text. 



Cinnamomeus (Vespertilio) Wagner, Schreber's Saugthiere, Suppl., 

 vol. 5, p. 755, 1855. Wagner believed that Rengger was correct in 

 considering Azara's " Chauve-souris cannelle " a Noctilio. Since 

 -^zara's description was the basis of Vespertilio rube?' of E. Geoffroy, 

 Wagner proposed cijinamoTiieus as a substitute for the name imber as 

 used by D'Orbigny and Gervais for a red Myotis from Corrientes, 

 Argentina. Azara's animal, however, is now known to have been 

 this same red Myotis, so that the two names, 'ruber and cinnmnwnev/S, 

 were actually based on one bat. 



Concinnus {Vespertilio) H. Allen, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadel- 

 phia, 18G6, p. 280. This name, applied to specimens from San Sal- 

 vador, proves to have been based on the large form of Myotis 

 nigncans inhabiting Central America and not, as orginally supposed 

 by Miller (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 13, p. 154, June 13, 

 1900), on the Mexican race. 



Crassus {Vespertilio) F. Cuvier, Nouv. Ann. Mus. d'Hist. Nat. 

 Paris, vol. 1, p. 18, 1832. This name is practically impossible to 

 allocate with certainty. It was based on a specimen sent from New 

 York, and is probably a synonym of Myotis lumfiigas. 



Dinellii {Myotis) Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 10, 

 p. 493, December, 1902. This is the only name applied to the bright- 

 colored race of Myotis chilohisis occurring in the drier parts of 

 northwestern Argentina. 



Domesticus {Vespertilio) Green, in Doughty 's Cabinet of Nat. Hist., 

 vol. 2, p. 290, 1832. The description as well as the house-haunting 

 habit of this bat leave little doubt that it is the same animal aa 

 IjeConte's V. lucifugus described the previous year. 



Dominicensis {Myotis) Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 15, 

 p. 243, December 16, 1902. This is the form of M. nigricans found 

 in the island of Dominica, Lesser Antilles. 



Durangse {Myotis californicus) J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. 

 Hist., vol. 19, p. 612, November 12, 1903. An examination of the 

 type and other specimens from Durango on which the description 

 was based,, shows that all are typical M. ymianensis ywmxinensis. 



Durangose {Myotis calif omious) Trouessart, Cat. Mamm. viv. foss., 

 suppl., p. 93 1904. A modification of durangcB. 



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

 33, p. 385, July 9, 1914, We are unable to distinguish the form of 

 Myotis nigincans on which this name was based from the typical 

 :subspecies. 



Evotis {VespertiUo) H. Allen, Monogr. Bats North Amer., Smith- 

 sonian Misc. Coll., No. 165, p. 48, June, 1864. This is the first name 

 given to the long-eared Myotis of the western United States.
