Blanford ranks rouxi as a synonym of affinis, but Dr. K. Andersen has 

 pointed out (P. Z. S. 1905, p. 75 et seq.) that the form of the nose-leaf in 

 the two is entirely different. In the same paper Dr. Andersen has gone 

 fully into the name petersi and shown it to be a synonym of rouxi, and 

 further has shown that Kelaart's three names represent the "colour phases" 

 of one species and that one identical with rouxi. 



Vernacular names (for all small bats.) — Kanakappadi, Kanakappate, 

 Kankappate (Kanarese) ; Wagal (Marathi) ; Koptel, Sanclpta (Waddars 

 and Haran Shikaris).

Gadag, Dharwar. 



The name speoris was given by Schneider to a bat from Timor. I have 



seen no specimen from that locality, but both Sykes and Gray agree that 



the Indian form is separable. The names available are dukhunensis, Sykes, 



and apiculatus and penicillatus. Gray. These specimens are quite like the 



type of apiculatus of which they are topotypes. Though I have not seen an 



undoubted specimen of dukhunensis, its type locality is so close to Dharwar 



that, pending refutation, dukhunensis must be accepted as the proper 



name of the species.
