Jamaican Greater Funnel-eared Bat – Natalus jamaicensis

Natalus jamaicensisGoodwin, 1959

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

Formerly included in stramineus, but clearly distinct from that species; see Morgan (1989b) and Morgan and Czaplewski (2003). Also distinct from major and primus (A. Tejedor, pers. comm.). See Arroyo-Cabrales et al. (1997), who reviewed genetic variation and possible relationships of populations of jamaicensis, major, and stramineus (although note that all were treated as stramineus). Reviewed by Goodwin (1959b).
