Vespertilionidae Afropipistrellus Thorn, Kock & Cuisin, 2007: 75. Subgenus of Pipistrellus. Type species: Vesperugo grandidieri Dobson, 1876. Barbastella barbastellus guanchae Trujillo, Ibáñez & Juste, 2002: 544. “ Spain, Canary Islands, Tenerife, La Guancha, Barranco de La Cantera, 300 m a.s.l.”. Glauconycteris curryae Eger & Schlitter, 2001: 2. “ Cameroon: 10 km W Bipindi (03o 05' N, 10o 25' E), approximately 300 m above sea level”. Justified emendation of Glauconycteris curryi Eger & Schlitter 2001, by Eger (2001). [DD] Remarks: The authors did not explain how the specific name was formed but as there is no 'y' in Latin, the original name “ curryi ” must have been formed directly from the modern personal name and as it is the name of a woman (Noreen Curry), should be corrected to “ curryae ” (see Article 31.1.2; ICZN 1999). Miniopterus gleni Peterson, Eger, & Mitchell, 1995: 128. “dans une grotte marine entre Sardrano et Saint- Augustin, à 20 k au Sud de Tuléar” [Madagascar].
