摘要
我们结合孟买自然历史学会的南亚哺乳动物调查,回顾了斯里兰卡松鼠 Funambulus obscurus 的历史。凯瑟琳-莱利(Kathleen Ryley,1883-1935 年)曾帮助汇编调查成果,是最早命名哺乳动物物种的女性之一。她是第一个承认斯里兰卡物种有别于其在南印度的近亲的人。最近的研究证实了这一决定,但她为该物种选择的名称已不再被认为有效。我们记录了在维也纳重新发现的 F. obscurus 主模式标本,确认了其身份。我们建议将斯里兰卡的 F. obscurus 俗名为 "暗色条纹松鼠",将印度的 Funambulus sublineatus 俗名为 "侏儒条纹松鼠"。
The names of the Dusky Striped Squirrel (Funambulus obscurus, Sciuridae) and Kathleen Ryley in the Bombay Natural History Society’s Mammal Survey
We review the history of the Sri Lankan squirrel Funambulus obscurus in the context of the Bombay Natural History Society’s Mammal Survey of South Asia. Kathleen Ryley (1883–1935), who helped to compile the results of the Survey, was among the earliest women to name a species of mammal. She was the first to recognise the Sri Lankan species as distinct from its closest relative in southern India. This decision has been confirmed by recent research, but her chosen name for the species is no longer considered valid. We record the rediscovery of the holotype specimen of F. obscurus in Vienna, confirming its identity. We suggest the common name “Dusky Striped Squirrel” for the Sri Lankan F. obscurus and “Pygmy Striped Squirrel” for the Indian Funambulus sublineatus.
期刊介绍:
Mammalia is an international, multidisciplinary, bimonthly journal devoted to the inventory, analysis and interpretation of mammalian diversity. It publishes original results on all aspects of the systematics and biology of mammals with a strong focus on ecology, including biodiversity analyses, distribution habitats, diet, predator-prey relationships, competition, community analyses and conservation of mammals. The journal also accepts submissions on sub-fossil or recently extinct mammals.
