Scientific Name: Pteropus subniger Species Authority Intra-specific Authority: (Kerr, 1792) Common Name/s: English – Dark Flying Fox, Lesser Mascarene Flying-fox Spanish – Zorro Volador Oscuro De Mauricio Assessment Information [top] Red List Category & Criteria: Extinct ver 3.1 Year Assessed: 2008 Assessor/s Mickleburgh, S., Hutson, A.M.M., Bergmans, W. & Howell, K. Evaluator/s: Hutson, A.M.M., Racey, P.A. & Mickleburgh, S. (Chiroptera Red List Authority) Justification: The last authentic record of this species on Mauritius was in 1859, but it is believed to have died out between 1864 and 1873. On Réunion, no new records appeared after 1862 and it seems probable that it became extinct in the 1860s. History: 2004 - Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) 1996 - Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) 1988 - Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) 1990 - Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) 1994 - Extinct (IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre 1988) Geographic Range [top] Range Description: This species was previously known from Mauritius and Réunion. It was restricted to elevations of between 1,200 and 1,600 m asl. Countries: Regionally extinct: Mauritius; Réunion Population [top] Population: This species is now extinct. It is believed to have become extinct on Mauritius between 1864 and 1873. It is likely to have disappeared from Réunion in the 1860s. It may have lasted a little longer but is now certain to be extinct. In the 1730s it was common enough to consider for the bat oil trade. Habitat and Ecology [top] Habitat and Ecology: It roosted in trees and was sometimes found in rocks. Its very long and dense fur suggest that it may have had a preference for cool roosting places, such as the higher altitudes in Réunion, and its reported ability to exploit suitably rocky substrates indicate that it was not dependent on forest or even trees for roosting places (Bergmans, 1990). Systems: Terrestrial Threats [top] Major Threat(s): Both deforestation and local hunting are thought to have contributed to the extinction of this species. It was thought to have lived in hollow trees. Conservation Actions [top] Conservation Actions: No longer applicable. www.redlist.org/details/18761 |

Hi Peter, just wanted to point out that "Drawings of the head and dentation" should read "dentition". Regards, Branden.

Hi Alex. Dentate (and dentation) refer to tooth-like margins or projections. Whereas dentition refers to the arrangement, size and shape of teeth positioned along the jaw/s

Note sur les chiroptères de l’île de la Réunion (Océan Indien) Francois MOUTOU www-degruyter-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/document/doi/10.1515/mamm.1982.46.1.35/htmlMammalia 46(1), 1982 In French Endemic to the Mascarene Islands (Mauritius, Reunion), this species has totally disappeared. Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire, in 1810, described it as follows: grey-brown coat with red neck. The wingspan is 65 cm and the length of the head is 4.5 cm. He mentions it only from Ile Bourbon (p. 93). Two specimens exist in the Galerie de Zoologie du Museum de Paris: "Pteropus rubricollis, Maurice ? 757 n° 3, acheté M. Vasseur, n'en savait pas l'origine", and "Maurice? 757, n° 2". |
