“…nov., especially in areas of sympatry or parapatry to identify reliable diagnostic field characters. It is not unusual to have closely related bat species showing divergence in echolocation calls (Douangboubpha et al, 2010;Ith et al, 2011;Puechmaille et al, 2011;Thong et al, 2012b) and those differences can be used to discriminate species (Walters et al, 2012). Nevertheless, our analyses of echolocation calls from a limited number of individuals tend to suggest that M. maghrebensis sp.…”

(English)We used an integrative approach combining cranio-dental characters, mitochondrial and nuclear data and acoustic data to show the presence in the genus Miniopterus of a cryptic species from the Maghreb region. This species was previously recognised as Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817). Miniopterus maghrebensis sp. nov. can be differentiated from M. schreibersii sensu stricto on the basis of cranial characters and from mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite evidence. Although slight external morphological and acoustic differences were noted between the two species, these criteria alone did not allow reliable species identification from live animals. Based on the specimens identified morphologically and/or genetically, the distribution range of M. maghrebensis sp. nov. extends from northern Morocco to south of the High Atlas Mountains and northern Tunisia. The new cryptic species is found in sympatry with M. schreibersii s.str. near coastal regions of North Africa.Key words: Bats, cryptic species, echolocation, Mammalia, Morocco Abstract (French)Nous avons utilisé une approche intégrative combinant des analyses cranio-dentaires, des marqueurs moléculaires mitochondriaux et nucléaires ainsi que des données acoustiques pour montrer la présence dans le genre Miniopterus d'une espèce cryptique en provenance du Maghreb. Cette espèce était auparavant reconnue en tant que Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817). Miniopterus maghrebensis sp. nov. est différencié de M. schreibersii sensu stricto sur la base de caractères crâniaux ainsi que des marqueurs moléculaires mitochondriaux et des microsatellites. Bien que de petites différences morphologiques externes et acoustiques aient été notées entre les deux espèces, ces critères à eux seuls ne permettent pas d'identifier de manière fiable les animaux sur le terrain. Sur la base d'identifications morphologiques et/ou génétiques de spécimens, M. maghrebensis sp. nov. s'étends du nord du Maroc jusqu'au sud des montagnes du Haut Atlas et au nord de la Tunisie. Cette nouvelle espèce cryptique est trouvée en sympatrie avec M. schreibersii s.str. près des régions côtières d'Afrique du Nord.Zootaxa 3794 (1)

“…This taxon is smaller (FA: 32.4-37.2 mm; for further details see Douangboubpha et al, 2010b) than H. einnaythu. Furthermore, the nose leaf lacks lateral supplementary leaflets and the internarial septum is parallel-sided.…”

“…As recently noted by Douangboubpha et al (2010b), the taxonomic status of Hipposideros ater Templeton, 1848 is confused. As currently understood (sensu Corbet and Hill, 1992) it has a widespread distribution ranging from Sri Lanka to Australia.…”

“…However, several recent authors, including Boitani et al (2006) and Suyanto and Struebig (2007), suggest that it is a species complex, which includes a number of distinct cryptic taxa. Douangboubpha et al (2010b) indicated that five specimens from Rakhine State and Tanintharyi Divi sion, Myanmar provisionally referred to H. ater are probably referable to a separate and previously undescribed species. Four of these specimens were pre viously published under a variety of names in Wroughton (1915;= H. fulvus), Lindsay (1926;= H. atratus), and Pearch et al (2003;= H. ater).…”

Systematics of the Hipposideros turpis complex and a description of a new subspecies from Vietnam

Hipposideros turpis is traditionally known as a species composed of three subspecies, H. t. turpis, H. t. alongensis and H. t. pendleburyi, distributed disjunctly in south‐west Japan, north‐east Vietnam and south‐west Thailand, respectively. Prior to the present study, the systematic status of forms within the species remained unclear. Using morphological (external, bacular, cranial and dental characters), genetic and echolocation data, we demonstrate that turpis, alongensis and pendleburyi represent three distinct species, and that these species are endemic to Japan, Vietnam and Thailand, respectively. They are very distinct genetically and do not even form a monophyletic group. We also prove that H. alongensis is composed of two subspecies, H. a. alongensis and H. a. sungi. The latter subspecies is described as new to science. To date, H. a. alongensis appears to be restricted to the Cat Ba Island of Cat Ba National Park, west Ha Long Bay, whereas H. a. sungi ssp. nov. is known from three localities in mainland northeast Vietnam. These two subspecies are distinguished by body size, molecular data and the frequency of the constant‐frequency component of their echolocation signals.
