Taxonomic remark Remarks: Hesse (1881) proposed the genus name Scotophilus with the type species Scotophilus tricolor Hesse, 1881....
Taxonomic remark Remarks: Hesse (1881) proposed the genus name Scotophilus with the type species Scotophilus tricolor Hesse, 1881. Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied by Leach (1821), who had described the bat genus Scotophilus in the bat family Vespertilionidae. Thus, the genus Scotophilus Hesse, 1881 is a junior homonym of the generic name Scotophilus Leach, 1821. I propose a new replacement name Hesseius nom. nov. for Scotophilus Hesse, 1881.
