Pipistrellus cinnamomeus Miller 1902
Referred to the Genus Myotis

By

E. RAYMOND HALL AND WALTER W. DALQUEST

Miller (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1902, p. 390, September 3,1902) based the name Pipistrellus cinnamomeus on a skin and skull of a vespertilionid bat obtained on May 4, 1900, at Montecristo, Tabasco, Mexico, by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman. A single specimen was available to Miller when he proposed the name P. cinnamomeus. Dalquest and Hall (Jour. Mamm., 29:180, May 14, 1948) reported three additional specimens collected in 1946 by W. W. Dalquest on the Río Blanco, twenty kilometers west-northwest of Piedras Negras, Veracruz, Mexico. No other published information concerning this species is known to us, although the name has, of course, appeared in regional lists, for example in the "List of North American Recent Mammals, 1923" (Bull. U. S. National Museum, 128:75, April 29, 1924) by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.

Additional specimens, nevertheless, are known. Two collected on April 18 and 20, 1903, at Papayo, Guerrero, by Nelson and Goldman, are in the Biological Surveys Collection in the United States National Museum. A skin, probably of this species, for which the skull cannot now be found, was taken on October 27, 1904, at Esquinapa, Sinaloa, by J. H. Batty and is in the American Museum of Natural History. This is the skin referred by Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:100, May 25, 1928) to Myotis occultus. Three additional specimens, each a skin with skull, were collected twenty kilometers east-northeast of Jesús Carranza, at 200 feet elevation, Veracruz, by Walter W. Dalquest, two on April 13, 1949, and one on May 16 of the same year. These are in the Museum of Natural History of the University of Kansas, as also are the three previously reported by Dalquest and Hall (loc. cit.). A total of ten specimens, from five localities, all in Mexico, thus is accounted for.

On page 392 of the original description—which our study of the holotype shows to be accurate—Miller wrote: "This bat differs so widely from the other known American species of Pipistrellus as to need no special comparisons. Superficially it has much the appearance of an unusually red Myotis lucifugus, and only on examination of the teeth do the animal's true relationships become apparent." In referring to the teeth Miller almost certainly was thinking of the premolars of which there are only two on each side of the upper jaw and on each side of the lower jaw in Pipistrellus, including his Pipistrellus cinnamomeus, whereas Myotis at that time was thought always to have three premolars on each side of both the upper and lower jaw, except in rare instances where one premolar might be lacking on one side of one jaw or even more rarely on both sides of the upper jaw. In his original description of P. cinnamomeus, Miller mentioned also that it had the "Inner upper incisor distinctly smaller than the outer, not approximately equal to it as is the case in P. subflavus."

At this point it is well to make clear that each of the genera Pipistrellus and Myotis contains a large number of species and that the differences between the two genera are few. Our examination of American specimens reveals only one differential character: In Myotis the outer upper incisor is distinctly larger than the inner, whereas the two incisors are of approximately equal size in Pipistrellus. It may be noted that the outer upper incisor of several, but not all, species of Myotis has a well-developed concave surface directed toward the canine whereas this surface is flat or convex in Pipistrellus. In both features, the type of Pipistrellus cinnamomeus Miller agrees with Myotis and differs from Pipistrellus.

Five years after naming and describing Pipistrellus cinnamomeus, Miller published his monumental work entitled "The families and genera of bats" (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 57, June 29, 1907) wherein he points out the differences in the upper incisors between Pipistrellus and Myotis (by a lapsus plumae ascribes subequal incisors to Myotis and unequal incisors to Pipistrellus) but seemingly failed to reëxamine P. cinnamomeus in the light of this better understanding of the two genera, or if he did examine P. cinnamomeus he possibly was misled still by the absence of the third premolar on each side of both the upper and lower jaw.

In 1928 when Miller and Allen published their account of "The American bats of the Genera Myotis and Pizonyx" (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144, May 25, 1928) they examined specimens of Myotis occultus which they implied (op. cit.: 99-100) had only two instead of three premolars on each side of both the upper and lower jaws. In preparing this taxonomic account of bats of the genus Myotis, the specimens (type and two from Papayo) of Pipistrellus cinnamomeus seem not to have been examined. Indeed, it is almost certain that they were not examined for the species was renamed; the new name, Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:54, May 25, 1928), was based on a skull with the corresponding body in alcohol. The characters of this specimen are almost exactly those of Pipistrellus cinnamomeus, named and described by Miller 26 years earlier. The type locality (Teapa) of M. l. fortidens is 80 miles westerly from the type locality of P. cinnamomeus; both are in the state of Tabasco, and in the same life-zone, at equivalent elevations (neither higher than 50 meters). Since there are no characters of taxonomic worth to distinguish the two named specimens, Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen 1928 falls as a synonym of Pipistrellus cinnamomeus Miller 1902. But, according to Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:19, 197), Vespertilio cinnamomeus Wagner 1855 is a name based on Myotis ruber (E. Geoffroy, 1806) from Paraguay and hence Myotis cinnamomeus (Miller) 1902 is a homonym of Myotis cinnamomeus (Wagner) 1855 and is unavailable for the animal from Montecristo when it is transferred to the genus Myotis; the species of animal concerned will take the next available name, which seems to be Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen 1928.

It may reasonably be asked if Myotis and Pipistrellus should be retained as separate genera if the only constant difference between the two is subequal versus unequal upper incisors. In our opinion it would be worth-while for someone who had access to adequate material from both the Old World and the New World to investigate this question. We lack adequate material from the Old World.

When Miller and Allen named M. l. fortidens they had only two specimens, the holotype from Teapa, Tabasco, and a referred specimen from Fort Hancock, El Paso County, Texas, approximately 1,200 miles north-northwest of Teapa. We have examined this specimen from Texas (U. S. Nat. Mus., 21083/36121, skin and skull) and regard it as Myotis lucifugus carissima Thomas. Furthermore, we regard the holotype of Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen 1928 as specifically distinct from Myotis lucifugus of Miller and Allen 1928. The Cinnamon Myotis, described below, therefore may stand as:

Myotis fortidens Miller and Allen

Cinnamon Myotis

Pipistrellus cinnamomeus Miller, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 390, September 3, 1902, type from Montecristo, Tabasco (preoccupied by Vespertilio cinnamomeus Wagner, Schreber's Säugethiere, suppl., 5:755, 1855, a renaming of Vespertilio ruber E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire).

Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:54, May 25, 1928.

Type.—"Adult female (in alcohol) No. 88.8.8.18, British Museum (Natural History). Collected at Teapa, Tabasco, Mexico, by H. H. Smith, January 5, 1888. Presented by Messrs. Salvin and Godman [after Miller and Allen, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:54, May 25, 1928]."

Range.—Known only from the lower part of the Tropical Life-zone of the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and east and west coasts of Mexico.

Fig. 1. Map showing localities from which Myotis fortidens has been recorded.

Diagnosis.—Among American species of the genus, over-all size medium (total length 94 mm); body long (54); tail short (39); forearm of medium length (37); tibia short (14.5); foot long (58 per cent of length of tibia); wing membrane arising from side of foot at distal end of metatarsal; calcar simple (not keeled) and 7 mm long; ears 15 to 16 mm long measured in the flesh from the notch (posteroventral border of the meatus); tragus, measured from same place, 7 to 8 mm high with posterobasal lobe; third metacarpal longest and second metacarpal shortest; fifth shorter than fourth; ears brownish; membranes of wing and tail blackish; uropatagium almost hairless, the few hairs that are present being almost invisible; pelage of back 5 mm long with some overhairs 8 to 9 mm long; basal 3 mm of fur black, remainder Cinnamon-Brown (capitalized color terms, after Ridgway, Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912); outline of skull viewed dorsally similar to that of Myotis lucifugus; sagittal crest well developed; distance across upper canines equal to or slightly exceeding interorbital constriction; braincase low; two premolars on each side in upper jaw and also in lower jaw, the one remaining small premolar in contact with both the canine and the fourth premolar.

Figs. 2-5. Four views of the skull of Myotis fortidens. No. 32112, University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, ♂, obtained 20 kilometers east-northeast Jesús Carranza, 200 feet elevation, Veracruz, Mexico, on May 16, 1949, by Walter W. Dalquest; original no. 12869. ×2.

Remarks.—Myotis fortidens is known only from the Tropical Life-zone. The skin, without a skull, from Esquinapa, Sinaloa, agrees in color with the undoubted specimens of M. fortidens from Papayo, Guerrero, but can be matched also by selected skins of Myotis occultus from Blythe, Riverside County, California. Without the skull the reference of this specimen to M. fortidens is provisional. Reason for referring it to fortidens rather than to M. occultus is provided, however, by a series of eleven specimens of M. occultus from Álamos, Sonora. These are Saccardo's Umber rather than Cinnamon-Brown and they are geographically intermediate between the reddish M. occultus of California and the reddish M. fortidens of Mexico. Furthermore, these specimens from Álamos have large skulls of slightly different proportions than those of M. fortidens or than those of M. occultus from California; possibly the animals from Álamos are representative of the larger, duller-colored variation for which Hollister proposed the name Myotis baileyi (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 22:44, March 10, 1909). This duller-colored type of animal intervenes between the geographic ranges of undoubted M. occultus and undoubted M. fortidens. The specimen from Esquinapa, in the geographic sense, is on the fortidens side rather than on the occultus side of the baileyi population. This geographic position is the basis on which the specimen from Esquinapa is referred to M. fortidens. The third premolar is lacking from each side of both the upper and the lower jaws of each individual of this series from Álamos.

The specimens of M. fortidens are all distinguishable by their color from other kinds of Myotis found in the same area. Occasional individuals of Myotis velifer, as for example three from Las Vigas, Veracruz, also are reddish but they are of brighter tone. In addition, the larger size and cranial features of these specimens of M. velifer permit ready differentiation of them from specimens of M. fortidens. One specimen (No. 32113) of M. fortidens from twenty kilometers east-northeast of Jesús Carranza is lighter than the others, being near (j) Cinnamon-Brown above and is lighter on the under-parts than on the upper parts. Another individual (No. 32112) is duller colored than the others, being Snuff Brown both above and below. Otherwise the specimens of M. fortidens agree in color.

Among named kinds of Myotis, M. fortidens resembles Myotis lucifugus and Myotis occultus. From the former, M. fortidens differs in possessing a strong sagittal crest and in lacking the third premolar in both the upper jaw and the lower jaw. M. fortidens lacks the glossy sheen found on the pelage of many individuals of M. lucifugus. From M. occultus, M. fortidens differs in having the rostrum (viewed from above) smaller in relation to the braincase. This is true of specimens with the teeth showing much wear as well as in specimens with the teeth unworn or only moderately worn. Also, M. fortidens is longer bodied as may be seen by comparing the measurements given here with those recorded for M. occultus by Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144:100, May 25, 1928). We are agreed that M. fortidens is as closely related to M. occultus as to any other named kind of Myotis, and that it is more closely related to it than to most other species of the genus, but one of us (Dalquest) thinks that M. fortidens is specifically distinct from M. occultus, whereas the other author (Hall) inclines to the view that additional specimens from localities intermediate between the known geographic ranges of M. occultus and M. fortidens will reveal intergradation between the two kinds. However that may be, there is no proof at present of such intergradation and the binomial is therefore used for the Cinnamon Myotis.

Specimens examined.—Total number, 10, all from Mexico, each a skin with skull except the skin-only from Sinaloa. Sinaloa: Esquinapa, 1 (Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.). Guerrero: Papayo, 2 (U. S. Biological Surveys Collection). Veracruz: 20 km. WNW Piedras Negras, 3 (Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. Kansas); 20 km. ENE Jesús Carranza, 200 ft. elevation, 3 (Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. Kansas). Tabasco: Montecristo, 1 (U. S. Biological Surveys Collection).

Additional record.—Tabasco: Teapa, the holotype of Myotis lucifugus fortidens Miller and Allen 1928.

Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
