Is this article about the Greater Long-eared Bat or the South-eastern Long-eared Bat? Because the title is 'Greater Long-eared bat' but everything past the first section is about the South-eastern Long-eared. Sumanuil ( talk) 04:53, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Enwebb:, I thought this was a split, but the taxon was said to be nomen nudum [nomen dubium](Parnaby, 2009), needs a taxobox fix and / or move. I requested
Nyctophilus corbeni be deleted, for the moment.

For the present, I follow the opinion of Thomas (1914) and treat Vespertilio timoriensis Geoffroy, 1806 as a nomen dubium, based on the level of uncertainty surrounding the whereabouts of Geoffroy’s material, uncertainty over the type locality, and the improbability of matching any current taxon to Geoffroy’s description. A more formal action to stabilize usage of the name V. timoriensis Geoffroy, 1806 for the recently (re)discovered Timorese Nyctophilus will be taken in a separate publication. This will require comparison with N. heran from nearby Lembata Island, to which the Timorese material bears a general resemblance.
Noted in material identified at the Buchan Caves, as Nyctophilus timoriensis, in this talk: the pleistocene megafauna of victoria cygnis insignis 16:47, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
