Taxonomic remark Probably a later usage of Nyctimene Borkhausen, 1797, author possibly Borkhausen: Australian Faunal Directory (2020) states: Nyctimene is an available name in both Deutsche Fauna and Der Zoologe, heft VÆVIII, pp. 60–61; the publication dates in 1797 of Deutsche Fauna and Der Zoologe, heft V–VIII are not known to Mahoney, J.; but the date at the bottom of the Vorrede in Deutsche Fauna (p. spare xiv) is April 1797 whereas that at the bottom of the notice on the inside front cover of Der Zoologe, heft V–VIII is May 1797 and this admittedly weak internal evidence is the basis for regarding Deutsche Fauna as the earlier work; Andersen, K. 1912. Catalogue of the Chiroptera in the Collection of the British Museum. 2nd Megachiroptera. London : British Museum Vol. 1 cii 854 pp. [681] and Iredale, T. & Troughton, E. le G. 1934. A check-list of the mammals recorded from Australia. Mem. Aust. Mus. 6: i–xii 1–122 [91] attributed the authorship of Nyctimene in Der Zoologe to E.-A. or E.A., but these initials are not placed at the end of 'A. Fortgesetzte Beschreibung der Säugthiere' (heft V–VIII, pp. 1–142) where Nyctimene is described (pp. 60–61), but at the end of 'B. Nachträge zu den bisher beschriebenen Gattungen' (heft V–VIII, pp. 143–151) and Andersen's (and Iredale & Troughton's) attribution of the authorship of Nyctimene in Der Zoologe to E.-A. might not be correct. The identity of E.-A. is not known to Mahoney, J.; Barrett-Hamilton, G.E.H. 1911. A History of British Mammals. Pt IV. London : Gurney & Jackson 25–32,169–208–1 pl. (unnumbered), pl pp. [191] and Miller, G.S. 1912. Catalogue of the Mammals of Western Europe (Europe exclusive of Russia) in the Collection of the British Museum. London : British Museum xvi 1019 pp. [190] believed that Bechstein (Barrett-Hamilton) and Borkhausen (Miller) are involved in the authorship of the chiropteran text in Der Zoologe. [details]
