Syntype(?). ZFMK 77.1035, male, in spirit, skull extract- 

 ed; label 1: "Amblyotus atratus (Kolenati) / (Meteorus) I 

 Altvater Mountains" , label2: "Vesperus atratus Kuhl / Alt- 

 vater /107a/ C. Koch". 



Current name. Eptesicus nilssoni (Keyserling & Blasius, 

 1839), see Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951). 

 Comments. The ZFMK specimen originates from the bat 

 collection of the renowned chiroperologist Carl Koch who 

 mainly collected in Hesse and Westphalia but also ex- 

 changed bats from all over the world or received them 

 from contemporaries. Koch very probably received the 

 specimen now in Bonn from his contemporary Kolenati. 

 This assumption is supported by the label entries of Kole- 

 nati's genus (Amblyotus), subgenus (Meteorus) and 

 species (atratus) as well as the type locality "Altvater 

 Mountains". C. Koch's main work (Das Wesentliche der 

 Chiropteren mit besonderer Beschreibung der in dem Her- 

 zogtum Nassau und den angrenzenden Landestheilen vor- 

 kommenden Fledermause, 1862/63) contains a paragraph 

 on Meteorus atratus (Kolenati) on page 393 which docu- 

 ments that Koch saw a specimen. In addition he points out 

 the similarity of M. atratus with V. nilssoni.
