Types in ZFMK: Section Theriology 



21 



CONCLUSIONS 



This catalogue presents the status of the ZFMK mammal 

 collections in 2010. 77 holotypes, 5 syntypes, 2 lectotypes, 

 and 1 neotype are listed. In addition, paratypes or para- 

 lectotypes for 105 taxa are included. The number of type 

 specimens will increase in the future, as more species of 

 mammals will be described, based on ZFMK material. 

 This is particularly true for Africa, where new species of 

 mammals are frequently being discovered (Hoffmann et 

 al. 2009). 



Some issues concerning type material could not yet be re- 

 solved, but may be so in the future. For example, Groves 

 (2003) mentioned unspecified material in "Museum 

 Alexander Koenig (6001)" that served for his description 

 of Gazella benettii salinarum Groves, 2003. We were not 

 able to trace such material so far. The description of Sun- 

 cus hututsi Kerbis Peterhans & Hutterer, 2009 includes a 

 statement that one paratype will be deposited in the ZFMK 

 (Kerbis Peterhans & Hutterer 2009) but this has not been 

 done yet. 



Numerous vouchers for karyotypes still have to be iden- 

 tified. For example, specimens of European and Asian Mas 

 and Vandeleuria were used by Gropp et al. (1969, 1970, 

 1973) to analyze their karyotypes, as were specimens of 

 Mus from Sicily by Lehmann & Radbruch (1977). Also 

 GenBank voucher specimens will have to be identified in 

 order to link published sequences with vouchers in the 

 Bonn collection. This is one of the next goals to be 

 achieved.
