- Abstract
The following names based on Barbastella bats from Asia were found available for nomenclatural purposes, and their type series and type localities were specified: Vespertilio leucomelas Cretzschmar, 1830, Plecotus darjelingensis Hodgson, 1855, Barbastella caspica Satunin, 1908, Barbastella blanfordi Bianki, 1917, Barbastella walteri Bianki, 1917, and Barbastella beijingensis Zhang, Han, Jones, Lin, Zhang, Zhu, Huang et Zhang, 2007. On the other hand, Barbastellus dargelinensis Dobson, 1875 has never been created as a new name, and dargelinensis, darjelinensis and darjilingensis used by DOBSON (1875, 1876, 1879) in combination with the genera Barbastellus Gray, 1838 or Synotus Keyserling et Blasius, 1839 are merely incorrect subsequent spellings of HODGSON's (1855) darjelingensis, being thus not available for nomenclatural purposes.
